2025 cornerback Jordyn Woods flips from Cincinnati and commits to Ohio State.
Ohio State is one of only two schools with multiple candidates for this year's Senior CLASS Award.
Buckeyes quarterback J.T. Barrett and center Billy Price, both fifth-year seniors who are among Ohio State's most respected team leaders, were named as two of the 30 candidates for this year's award on Thursday.
The Senior CLASS Award annually recognizes a college football player who has notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition.
Barrett, the only three-time team captain in Ohio State history, graduated from the university in December 2016 with a degree in communications and has rewritten the school's record books on the football field. He became Ohio State's all-time leader in passing yards last week against Rutgers.
Price, who is regarded as one of the best centers in college football, graduated from Ohio State in May 2017 with a degree in business administration and a specialization in operations management. He has started 46 consecutive games for the Buckeyes and is on track to break Luke Fickell's school record for consecutive starts (50).
