When discussing the 2014 and 2015 Slobs, a lot of the credit and props go to guys like Taylor Decker, Pat Elflein and perhaps Jacoby Boren. But two-year starter Billy Price is returning for 2016 and may be turn out to be one of the better linemen in the Big Ten this season.
Price came to Ohio State in 2013 out of Austintown Fitch High School, where he was a two-way player seeing time on the defensive line as well as at offensive tackle. Rated the No. 17 defensive tackle nationally by 247Sports, Price was known more for his defensive efforts, earning Associated Press 2012 Division I co-defensive player of the year honors in Ohio — an accomplishment he shared with current teammates Gareon Conley and Tracy Sprinkle — and was named first-team all-state.
