3.) Josh Myers, OL (6-6, 306)

With MANY inconsistencies on Ohio State’s offensive line last season, guys like Myers have a shot to really come in and steal a starting role. The thing that separates Myers from tackles with similar physical traits is his toughness, attitude and nastiness.

I haven’t seen a more complete Ohio-born offensive lineman come to Ohio State since Nick Mangold way back in the early 2000’s. There’s a lot to be excited about with Myers, and it blows my mind that he dropped from a five-star recruit to a four-star one late in the recruiting process.

Look for Myers to maul over defenders in the run game and gradually improve his pass blocking skills as he matures into one of the better offensive lineman in the conference.
