Zen Michalski Transfers to Indiana Football

Indiana football has secured a verbal commitment from offensive lineman Zen Michalski, a former Ohio State player, who is returning to his home state of Indiana. The 6'6", 319-pound lineman hails from Floyds Knobs and has one year of eligibility remaining after four seasons at Ohio State, where he played in 34 games but mostly served as a backup. Michalski, a four-star recruit in the 2021 class, joins Indiana to fill the void left by departing right tackle Trey Wedig. Despite showing promise in some games, Michalski struggled in pass protection during key moments this past season. He has expressed his desire to explore options while remaining committed to his team during the College Football Playoff. This transfer marks Indiana's first significant offensive line addition for the upcoming season.
