In case you haven’t been paying attention — and who could blame you with all the crazy things going on in the world today — the Big Ten Network has been unveiling its BTN All-Decade squads. It has already announced the three different All-Decade basketball teams, and has now moved on to the All-Decade Big Ten football squads.
On that note, one former Ohio State lineman and even one current one have both made the First-Team. Former center Billy Price along with current left guard Wyatt Davis are both a part of all the fun.
Here’s what the Ohio State athletic department said about Price:
“Price is one of the great offensive linemen in Ohio State’s storied history. A two-time All-American, including a unanimous selection in 2017, Price is one of just six Buckeye offensive linemen to win a major national award when he was named the recipient of the 2017 Rimington Trophy as the nation’s outstanding center. Price also was named the Big Ten’s Rimington-Pace offensive lineman of the year that season and set a program record with 55 consecutive games started from 2014 through 2017.”
But not to be outdone, and in a rather surprising move, Wyatt Davis was also included. Here’s what OSU said about one of the current anchors of the offensive line in their release.
“Davis, from Bellflower, Calif., blossomed into one of the nation’s top interior linemen last season as a first-year starter. While paving the way for an offense that averaged 529.9 yards per game, Davis was voted a first team All-American by the Associated Press, CBS Sports and The Sporting News. He is one of three returning starters along the offensive line for the 2020 Buckeyes and has already been named a preseason first team All-American by The Walter Camp Football Foundation and The Sporting News.”
Davis himself was also taken aback.
“I’m at a loss for words and I was so excited when I get the news,” Davis told BTN’s Dave Revsine. “I still have to finish strong but this is definitely something nice to look back on.”
Price and Davis were joined on the First-Team All Decade Big Ten offensive line team by Taylor Lewan of Michigan, Iowa’s Brandon Scherff, Michael Dieter of Wisconsin, and Indiana’s Dan Feeney.
Stay tuned as more of these are revealed throughout the next few days.
