Football season may be in full swing, but Kentucky Wildcats defensive lineman Lincoln Billiter just scored a major win off the field—on The Price is Right! Billiter, a player you might not recognize immediately, was called up as a contestant on the iconic game show and walked away with a shiny new car!
In a moment of pure excitement, Billiter not only got the chance to guess prices alongside other contestants but also nailed it when it counted, securing his own personalized prize: a brand-new vehicle! Talk about a touchdown outside of football!
For those wondering how a college athlete managed to squeeze in time for a game show, don’t worry—The Price is Right films episodes in advance. According to Matt Jones from Kentucky Sports Radio, this episode was taped over the summer, allowing Billiter to take a break from football and make his game show debut.
Billiter, a local talent from Shelby Valley High School in Virgie, Kentucky, is in his second year with the Wildcats. While he hasn’t seen significant playing time yet, the 6’5″, 290-pound lineman is a powerhouse on the field, and there’s hope he’ll make a bigger impact in the coming years as part of Kentucky’s defensive line.
Despite the Wildcats’ rollercoaster season, where bowl game hopes are hanging by a thread, Billiter’s off-season success is a bright spot. Kentucky still has three crucial games left—against Murray State, Texas, and Louisville—and needs to win them all to have a shot at a bowl game.
While the season may have its ups and downs, one thing is for sure: Lincoln Billiter’s Price is Right victory will be a highlight he’ll remember for a lifetime, driving into the next chapter of his career—both on the field and on the road!
