During his career at Texas Tech, Price caught 161 passes for 1,751 yards and 10 touchdowns. He also recorded 296 punt return yards, 207 rushing yards, 59 kickoff return yards and two rushing touchdowns.
Price transferred to Indiana for his fifth and final college season because he was attracted to coach Curt Cignetti’s offensive philosophy.
“It’s a true pro-style NFL spread offense, so I really wanted to be part of it,” Price said during spring training. “Since I was in college, I’ve been in an air raid offense, and I wanted something different, and this team offers that. That’s really why I decided to come here.”
