During Tennessee’s 1998 national championship season, Price totaled 920 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns,
In the BCS national championship game win over Florida State, Price scored on a 79-yard reception.
“Preparation is the separation,” Price said in a Tennessee State press release. “That’s the way I’ve always went about life. If you don’t prepare you are preparing to fail.
“With that in mind I just feel like I need to invest and prepare the next generation of young people. Preparing them for the game of life and what it takes to be a successful athlete and human being.”
