The state of Texas is always loaded with high school talent and yesterday the Irish dipped into the talent pool and gained a commitment from running back Jadarian Price.

The five-foot-eleven-inch and 185-pound back held the Notre Dame offer for less than a month before pulling the trigger to join the 2022 Irish recruiting class.
Here is what to expect from Price when he arrives in South Bend:
The first thing that is noticeable in Price’s game is his running style, he’s a North/South runner who picks his lanes well and has the speed to exploit those holes. An ability to put his foot in the ground and turn up the field, Price has one cut and go in his game. There isn’t too much wiggle to what Price brings to the table, but he shows enough in that area where it won’t be a hinderance to his game.

When Price is looking for a hole he baits defenders running at a slower speed, then turns on the jets to hit the opening. Arm tackles won’t bring him down, showing his strength at the position. Price also has good hands out of the backfield, defenses have to be aware of him as a threat out of the backfield.

The Irish beat out schools like Ohio State, USC and Auburn for Price’s services, a big recruiting pull from the Lone Star state.
