[edit] High School Years

Price was named to the Big XII All-Region Super Team as punter. His junior year he averaged 45.6 yards per punt, which dropped to 39.5 yards per punt his senior year because of an ankle injury. He set a school record with his career-long 74 yard punt, and also played free safety on defense with 101 stops and two interceptions. He was also a member of both the National Honor Society and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

[edit] College Years

Price had seen little playing time as reserve punter at Notre Dame, playing in only two games his sophomore year and seeing no action both his freshman and junior years. His senior year however, he took over for D.J. Fitzpatrick and has been consistent in his performance. In the 2006 Blue-Gold game he averaged 52 yards per punt, with a current career long of 62 yards and an average of 48 yards per punt during the 2006 season.
