OT Zen Michalski (Official Thread)

What a shot. I hope this kid prints a copy and hangs it on his wall.

That said, Michalski plans to do everything he can this offseason to demonstrate he is ready to be a starter, even though he knows the ultimate decision of who will start is out of his hands. He plans to continue bulking up from his current weight of 307-308 pounds to 315 pounds while getting as strong as he can in the weight room, all the while spending extra time doing drills with Frye and offensive line graduate assistant Mike Sollenne to improve his technique and build his confidence.

“I’m going to do my absolute best to put in all the work I can put in and wait for the results,” Michalski said.

Love this kid's attitude, I am really hoping he takes the LT spot and thrives because that is the lone piece of the puzzle missing imo...Jackson at LG, Jones at C, Vimahi/Christman RG, Fryar RT. Tshabola and Fitzpatrick might make a push for the spot (at least I hope) but Zen seems to have really put in the work to be ready. He came in a tad underweight but with a great frame and athleticism. He's clearly added the size and if the technique is there, we may be pleasantly surprised with this OL. His overall size and length reminds me of Taylor Decker, hopefully Zen can hit that mark.

I forgot about Christman. For some reason I think he’ll be a great one.

He's kind of a forgotten guy on the OL but will be a critical piece of the OL soon imo. Nothing but good reports from the coaches on him, we just had a ton of depth to break through and now is his time to shine, though Vimahi will be tough to beat out for the starting spot. I have a feeling he'll be very good as well.

With all the negative talk about the loss to Oregon. Some praise needs to be sent Zen's way! A guy who's been on the roster for 4yrs. Was seen as a plan b(at best) recruit, who Stud lazily recruited. He had a very solid game, when I'm sure there was a collective gasp over the entire OSU locker room and fan base when Simmons went down. Hopefully this is the beginning of a great year for Zen! Kudos

I hope Zen is ready for the job. But if he isn't, my first thought is Montgomery, even if Jackson slides out to LT and that is our left side of the OL with Montgomery at LG. Shitty spot to be in but I truly hope Zen is up for the task after how long he has been here.
