A.J. Price is a competitor. In the middle amongst a family of seven boys, he really had no choice growing up. Price has used the skills, toughness and instincts he learned being raised in an active household to emerge as a highly-talented athlete. A three-sport standout at South Lakes HS, Price has an opportunity to become an important contributor in his redshirt freshman season. With the graduation of three of the most prolific wide receivers in Penn State history, he will enter preseason camp ready to challenge for a spot in the rotation. Price is among the tallest members of the receiving corps and his athleticism, physical gifts and determination will greatly assist his bid for significant playing time this year. Price is one of seven returning Nittany Lions from metropolitan Washington, D.C.
