Pat Elflein won the Rimington Award last year as college football’s best center.
Ohio State could be just as good at center this year, if not even better, even though Elflein is now in the NFL.
It’ll be hard to be better than Elflein, a rock-solid starter for three-plus seasons who was widely regarded as one of the Buckeyes’ best leaders last season, but Billy Price has the potential to reach that level.
Price, like Elflein, is moving to center for his senior year after playing guard his first three seasons. That’s a transition that’s much easier said than done, as playing center comes with the added responsibilities of snapping the ball and making the offensive line calls, but Price looks like a good candidate to handle it.
