In Miles Walker, Ohio State landed a true offensive tackle prospect with a solid frame capable of developing into a starting lineman at the collegiate level.
But his journey to develop into Ohio State’s newest offensive lineman commitment as of Friday goes much further than that. Three years ago, Walker sat at what his high school coach described as a “sloppy” 280 pounds. After rigorous workouts, Walker slimmed down to 235 pounds by the start of his junior season.
Justin Frye made his own visit to see Walker in person on May 25. One day later after studying his film, Frye gave Walker a scholarship offer to Ohio State. Despite the fast rise in his recruiting profile, Walker didn’t feel the need to make an impulsive decision considering he observed former high school teammate and current Michigan wideout Cornelius Johnson navigate through a similar situation in the 2019 cycle. Walker was actually ahead of Johnson’s timeline, as he didn’t receive many of his Power 5 offers until the summer of his senior year.
