[2] Price's performance in high school was overshadowed by Matt Barkley who became the Gatorade National Football Player of the Year while playing for Bosco rival Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California. [3] Price was co-MVP of the Trinity League.

College career

In July 2008, Price announced that he had accepted a football scholarship to attend the University of Washington. [4]

2010 season

After serving on the scout team while redshirting in 2009, Price became the Huskies' backup quarterback in 2010. He appeared in eight games and was the starting quarterback against the No. 1 ranked Oregon Ducks. He completed 14 of 28 passes against Oregon for 127 yards, no interceptions, and a touchdown. [5] He also replaced Jake Locker against USC, and threw a touchdown pass on his first play in the game. [2]

2011 season

Price became Washington's starting quarterback as a redshirt sophomore in 2011. [6] In the second game of the season, he completed 18 of 25 passes for 315 yards and four touchdowns in a 40-32 victory over Hawaii. The following week, he threw for 271 yards and four touchdowns, while taking a hard hit on a sack from defensive lineman Jared Crick in the second quarter, in a 38-51 loss against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. [7]

During the 2011 regular season, Price completed 219 of 325 passes for 2,625 yards and a school record 29 touchdowns. [7] His 161.9 quarterback rating ranked 13th among all NCAA Division I FBS players, and his 29 touchdown passes ranked seventh. [8] [9] Despite posting impressive statistics, Price had not garnered the nationwide media attention received by other leading quarterbacks. [10] [11] [12] Price acknowledged feeling ignored but added, "I kind of like flying under the radar." [3] In the Alamo Bowl that season against the Baylor Bears, Price threw for over 400 yards, four touchdown passes and three touchdown runs. Despite Price's effort, Washington lost 67-56. Price then began receiving a lot more attention as a future Heisman Trophy candidate. In 2011 as more attention grew, he was given the nickname "Teeth" Price for his charismatic smile during his interviews. [13]

[22] In the fifth game against the Orlando Apollos, Price replaced struggling starter Luis Perez in the 31–14 defeat. Price completed 18 of 29 passes for 234 yards and a touchdown, with the 30-yard score to running back Brandon Ross being Birmingham's first passing touchdown of the 2019 AAF season. [23] However, the following week the Iron turned back to Perez, when Price went down early in the game with an injury. Price could have returned but head coach Tim Lewis elected to keep Perez in; Price's stat line read 3 completions on 4 attempts for 18 yards, and one rush for 9 yards. [24] Price relieved Perez again in week 8, coming off the bench to complete both of his pass attempts for 31 yards in a victory over the Atlanta Legends.
