Early life

Price attended Blanche Ely High School in Pompano Beach, Florida, where he played as a cornerback and free safety on the football team. As a senior in 2010, opponents threw his way only 23 times and he still made five interceptions and 12 pass break-ups, to go along with 39 tackles and 5 forced fumbles. He helped lead Ely to an 11–2 record and the state 5A regionals, where they were defeated by nationally ranked St. Thomas Aquinas. He earned Sun Sentinel all-county honors and was selected to play in the annual Dade vs. Broward County high school all-star game in January. The United States Achievement Academy named Price an All-American Scholar in 2010. [1]

As a member of Blanche Ely's track & field team, Price competed as a sprinter. In 2008, he took eighth in the 200 meters (23.42s) and eight in the 400-meter dash (52.95s) at the BCAA North Meet. [2] At the FHSAA 4A District Meet, Price ran a personal-best time of 11.32 seconds in the 100-meter dash and ran the third leg on the 4 × 100 m relay squad, helping them win the event with a time of 41.48 seconds. [3] He also posted a career-best time of 21.42 seconds in the 200-meter dash at the Charles Johnson Invitational as a senior. [4] The Blanche Ely relay squad was named to the Miami Herald all-county first-team. [5]

Price was a consensus three-star recruit and was rated the no. 83 cornerback in the country by Rivals. He received 10 NCAA Division I scholarship offers, including letters from Minnesota and Rutgers. He originally gave an oral commitment to Minnesota but ultimately decided to play for the North Carolina Tar Heels in order to be closer to home. [6]
