The Ohio State football team had one of the most unlikely runs to the national championship back in 2014. They won the title with a third-string quarterback leading them in each of their last three games. Cardale Jones will forever be a legend for that run in the CFP.

One of the members of that team was offensive lineman Billy Price. Price was a starting guard on that team that won the national championship over Oregon. He eventually would start three seasons at guard before switching to center for his senior season.

Price was fantastic during his career with the Ohio State Buckeyes. He was a two-time First-team All-Big Ten performer, including in 2017 when he won the Rimington Award. Price was also a Unanimous All-American during that season. Now, he can add another accolade to his career.

Now, Price will be inducted into the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame after the career resume that he put together. As a three-time All-Big Ten performer, he has a resume that few Buckeyes have. It is recognition that he certainly deserved based on what he did during his Ohio State career.

Price will be one of ten members inducted into the class of 2025 Ohio State Athletic Hall of Fame. He is the most notable athlete, but athletes from baseball, track and field, wrestling, and other sports. It's an illustrious group to be included with, and Price is happy he's there.

The Ohio State Buckeyes have a lot of football players in the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame. Price becomes the latest to get that accolade, and it is certainly well-deserved. Price is currently out of football, having last played in 2023 for the Cowboys' practice squad.
