A trio of seniors, including two first-team All-Big Ten selections from last season, have been selected to represent Ohio State at the 2017 Big Ten Football Media Days and Kickoff Luncheon later this month.
Center Billy Price, defensive end Tyquan Lewis and linebacker Chris Worley will be the Buckeyes' three representatives at this year's event.
Price, who is set to be a fourth-year starter in 2017, and Lewis, a third-year starter, will be the only two student-athletes in Chicago who were first-team conference honorees last year.
Worley, who is also expected to be among the team's leaders this upcoming season, is entering his second year as a starter.
Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett, who was also a first-team All-Big Ten selection last year, is not scheduled to attend the event. Barrett attended last year's Big Ten Media Days along with Pat Elflein and Raekwon McMillan.
This year's event is scheduled for Monday, July 24 and Tuesday, July 25 at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place and Convention Center in Chicago.
