Joshua Padilla plans to bring 'Michael Myers' mentality to Ohio State offensive line

‘As a sophomore’ … “He took this kid all the way to the sideline and dumped him, buried him into the sideline,” Newsome said. “After that play, it was just like, ‘OK, he’s different.’ And as he prepares to make the leap to join Ohio State football as an early enrollee in January, it’s the mentality Padilla intends to rely on at the next level. “I love just being able to dominate someone like one-on-one,” Padilla said. “You have no one else helping you. Just knowing you’re the one that dominated them. Basically playing nasty, being a bully and basically just dominating.”

“Wrestling is football in the offseason,” Mike said. On the mat, Joshua Padilla shined, posting an 89-16 record across three seasons, placing twice at the state meet and finishing as the 2022 state runner-up.

Despite Padilla's role as a tackle at Wayne, Frye is likely to use Padilla inside, specifically at center.

I've got dibs on Jamie Lee Curtis when she's running for her life and looking for a safe place to hide.

Padilla is passing up his senior wrestling season in favor of getting a head start with the Buckeyes, and considering he was always a state contender in his weight class, that’s no small concession. Padilla will start his college career at center despite never playing there in high school, but he has had conversations with OSU center Luke Wypler about the position.

“This is a guy whose dad is a wrestling coach. He was a wrestler,” Day said. “He has all the traits you're looking for in a center. The quickness, the ability to leverage the noses and the guys that he's gonna have to go against every day. And he's got a toughness about him.”

Love Josh's potential at center, he can excel there. Good succession plan to Wypler and he'll get to learn from him before stepping in. All I think Padilla needs is a little more weight and he'll be a force inside.

Hell yes Josh, 937 baby rep where you step! While not surprising to me, happy to see this for him. Those wrestlers in the trenches man, they are a different breed. Padilla and Montgomery are going to wreck some defenses in the not so distant future.

I'm probably a broken record here but this OL class is damn good and very underrated. With respect to Josh, I think fans are going to just love him...not that he was rated super low on his recruiting ranking, but it didn't add up to me that he wasn't in the top 50 overall. But rankings are rankings, just tear it up in Cbus my man.
