3. Josh Myers, OG

The Ohio State Buckeyes have some offensive line issues to solve, particularly in pass protection. The signing of Josh Myers should change things sooner rather than later. The 6-foot-6, 306-pound offensive guard prospect is rated 54th in the nation, second by position and first in the state of Ohio, according to 247Sports.

Getting Myers to stay close to home played a factor, but getting him to enroll early also gives the Buckeyes a leg up on developing him at a quicker rate. The Buckeyes will 13 offensive lineman on the roster next season but Myers presence will certainly push the current roster of talent.

With an opening at starter at the right guard position, Myers is doing his best to impress early. He’s already gotten the attention of his Ohio State coaches. The Buckeyes allowed 28 sacks a season ago, Myers looks to change all of that by possibly cracking the starting lineup as a true freshman.
