Ohio State’s options for the frontline got a bit thinner on Friday after Zen Michalski decided to enter the transfer portal. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound offensive lineman will have one year of eligibility remaining wherever he lands.

Michalski appeared in 19 games for the Buckeyes and took over as a starter when Josh Simmons was sidelined with an injury. Shortly thereafter, Michalski was sidelined with an injury of his own.

He helped anchor a line that plowed the gridiron to accumulate 2,030 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns and 3,052 passing yards and 29 touchdowns this season.

Michalski was a four-star prospect in the Top 100 back in 2021.
