We're counting down the days to kickoff with “99 Warriors,” the greatest Ohio State Buckeyes by jersey number, as voted by the staff of Eleven Warriors.
No. 54 Billy Price
A four-star prospect from Austintown Fitch, Billy Price actually began his career at Ohio State as a defensive tackle. He urged head coach Urban Meyer to let him switch positions, and ended up becoming one of the most productive offensive linemen in program history.

- Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year (2017)
- All-American (2016-17)
- All-Big Ten (2015-17)

The 6-foot-4, 312-pound Price quickly adapted to the offensive line and started all 15 games (three at left guard and the next 12 at right guard) as a redshirt freshman, helping the Buckeyes to the 2015 College Football Playoff National Championship.
