Due to lack of development from previous offensive line classes, Ohio State was forced to start Michael Jordan, a true freshman, at left guard in 2016.
The same thing could happen again in 2017 with the Buckeyes sporting at least one opening along the offensive line — though if history repeats itself, it won’t be because Urban Meyer & Co. failed to recruit at a high enough level. It’ll be because the true freshman is that good.
Enter Josh Myers, a four-star (recently downgraded from a five-star) offensive guard prospect from the Dayton suburb of Miamisburg.
