As Ohio State gets set to take on the Tennessee Volunteers in the first round of the College Football Playoff, the team has learned it will lose another offensive lineman to the transfer portal. Zen Michalski will look for greener pastures but will remain with the team through its playoff run.
Michalski stepped in for Josh Simmons after Simmons went down with an injury during the Oregon game. He would then start the next game against Nebraska, which got off to a rough start for the young man before he, too, went down with an injury and had to leave the game.
Michalski was a four-star prospect out of the state of Indiana. He has spent four seasons in Columbus and started just one game.
