Better Know A Buckeye is our look at every member of Ohio State’s 2023 recruiting class and how they became Buckeyes as they prepare to begin their OSU careers this fall.
Ohio State didn't offer Joshua Mickens until nearly six weeks before Early Signing Day, but that was enough time for the Buckeyes to flip the Indianapolis native from LSU.
Rated as the No. 17 edge rusher (No. 119 overall) in the 2023 class, Mickens is the second-highest-ranked defensive lineman in Ohio State's class and brings a high-upside skill set to the Buckeyes as an edge rusher.
