Like his former Ohio State teammate Denzel Ward, Billy Price will be staying in his home state.
Price, however, will be going in the other direction along I-71, as the former Ohio State offensive lineman and 2017 Rimington Trophy winner was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals with the No. 21 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft on Thursday night.
Price is the first Buckeye drafted by the Bengals since they selected Reid Fragel in the seventh round (No. 240 overall) in 2013.
Ward and Price are the first pair of Buckeyes to be selected by the Browns and Bengals in the same NFL draft since the Browns drafted Ohio State punter Tom Skladany and the Bengals drafted Ohio State running back Pete Johnson in the second round of the 1977 NFL draft.
