Congratulations to Denzel Ward and Billy Price on earning first-round draft selections in the 2018 NFL Draft. Both were well-deserved, and Ohio State fans who root for the Browns and Bengals who had grown numb to watching their favorite NFL team bypass Buckeyes can rejoice in the day one selections. Tom Orr…
Billy Price, the standout Ohio State offensive lineman who won the 2017 Rimington Award, was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals with the 21st pick of the first round of the NFL Draft. Respected both for his play on the field and his leadership, Price was a two-time all-American and a two-time captain for the Buckeyes.
Good, compact & athletic build throughout his frame with solid arm length. Excellent athlete highlighted by his short-area speed, body control and agility in small areas. Good football intelligence as a whole to sort out run blitzes/stunts and protect his gap. Also shows this ability as a trapper/puller to find and block assigned defender.

The 2018 season will be the fourth-consecutive year the Buckeyes will have a new starting center. Despite the constant change, there has been a seamless switchover each year. The argument could be made that center has been Ohio State’s best and most consistent position since Urban Meyer arrived in 2012. The Buckeyes have gone from…
Now that the date for college football underclassmen to declare for the 2018 NFL Draft has come and gone, the world of mock drafts can really kick into gear. Whether you like it or not, one of the most anticipated mock drafts every year comes from ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. On Thursday he released his initial first round mock draft, and…
A fast start can do a lot for a team. It can buoy them through any sort of concern that maybe a particular matchup is too much for them. Or, it can confirm to the opponent the very same thing. It takes a tough team to sit through an opposing fast start and not get too worked up over it. Wisconsin did a good job of that in the Big Ten…
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Billy Price and Denzel Ward each added to their impressive list of first-team All-American honors today and they were joined by a teammate on the first team of the last of the five major All-America teams: sophomore defensive end Nick Bosa. All three players were today named to the American Football…
