Last November, four-star Ohio offensive lineman Joshua Padilla became Ohio State's second commitment in the 2023 class.
Now entering his senior season, the 6-foot-4, 265-pound offensive lineman believes he has improved himself as a player even more and has his eyes set on helping Wayne High School capture a state championship.
Padilla will be Wayne's starter at right tackle this season, but will transition to center when he arrives on OSU’s campus. He plans to enroll early and will not wrestle this winter despite making the state finals in that sport last year.
