I realize this is a rob Peter to pay Paul deal and is an outside shot but I wonder if the staff has considered moving him back to the D Line as DT? If the current class ends with just Barrow at DT the problem with interior D Line didn't get solved this cycle. Barrow looks like a stud but the available bodies on that side looks pretty thin.

It's an interesting time for Billy too. He could be in for a break out year next year or he might not. He looked suspect at times in pass protection to me. We will already be bringing in several new bodies next year on the O Line but there are several promising pieces to work with.

We could see Jones-Lyle-Elflein-Knox-Prince on the O Line and D Line with Lewis-Hill-(committee members Sprinkle, Price, Bosa, Munger) and Hubbard on the other DE spot.

I'd be ok with it to be honest... I think we would see a interior of know-elflein -Burrell IMO though if it happens. In saying it I doubt it will because replacing 4 starters isn't ideal up front on offense.

The need is certainly there for this move to happen though.

Interesting proposal. Kinda like moving BM to WR for his Senior year. It all depends on how developed Lisle, Knox and Burrell are. Billy would definitely bring size, toughness and maturity to the middle of the DL and is a major need next season even if we get Barrow and Lawerence in the fold.

I believe most folks thought Billy was better on the DL than OL but was needed more on the OL

OHIO STATE'S RAEKWON MCMILLAN AND BILLY PRICE GROW CLOSER DURING JAMAICA TRIP

70778_h.jpg,qitok=OBTshGDL.pagespeed.ce.Xxt88cePF3.jpg


Billy Price said Urban Meyer constantly discusses the opportunity his team has to grow together through the experiences it shares on a daily basis. The majority of the time, that involves football-related activities.

Recently, Price had a chance to bolster his relationship with Raekwon McMillan off the field — in Jamaica.

"I mean, he's from Georgia. I'm from Northeast Ohio, just complete different areas and demographics so I really got to understand him a lot better and the things he's involved in on campus aren't necessarily what I'm involved in, but I got to learn a lot about what he's interested in," Price said Thursday at the Fawcett Center. "The relationship between he and I got a lot better."

McMillan and Price returned from their trip Tuesday night, an expedition as part of the the Soles4Souls initiative that provides shoes to underprivileged communities, specifically children. All 11 student-athletes on the trip learned to appreciate what Americans have and to also not waste time with the opportunity at a free education.

Ohio State puts its athletes in position to do great things, like win national championships. Price and McMillan did that in 2014 and won 12 more games last season. But the majority of that team is gone, either on to the NFL or graduated. What's left is an extremely young and inexperienced group, leaving Price, McMillan, Pat Elflein and J.T. Barrett as the elder statesmen.

Price and McMillan play opposite sides of the ball, so even though they are friends and teammates, they didn't really grow close until their service work in Jamaica.

"I mean, we were close friends and teammates, but I think this trip to Jamaica for Soles4Soles really brought me and Billy even closer together," McMillan said Thursday. "Just me and him being out there sweating, being out there every day in 95-degree weather. Having to get through it together, that really impacted our relationship and as teammates as well."
