Over the 2021, 2022, and 2023 seasons, Michalski played 102 snaps as a backup.[4] During the 2024 season, Michalski got his first significant playing time, including playing 105 snaps as a backup. After starting left tackle Josh Simmons got injured during Ohio State's 32–31 loss against Oregon, Michalski replaced Simmons, and was later named starter after Simmons was declared out for the season.[1][4] He made his first start during the Buckeyes' 21–17 win over Nebraska[4] but struggled, giving up two sacks and two pressures,[5] and was later carted off the field injured late in the game.[6] He was ruled out for Ohio State's 20–13 win over rival Penn State the next week.[5] For the game against Purdue, he was ruled out once again.[7] After the season, Michalski entered the transfer portal on December 20, 2024.[8]
