Running Back JD Price, out of TEXAS, just gave his verbal commitment to ND.

This is a big addition to the Irish offense!!

I'm not an expert, but when a RB's highlight film is full of long TD runs he is good for me!!

Price is 5'11 / 185. I'm hoping he adds 10 more pounds of muscle before strapping on the helmet for ND. If he had that now, I could see his national ranking (currently 210) be much-much higher.

Price has good vision, toughness, and awesome breakaway speed.

He is a legit 4-star in my opinion. ISD has a rating number of 93 for him. Hands seem adequate.

I'm pumped. a big win for Coach Kelly and staff during the cold winter days of February.

Some schools that ND is still competing with....

Texas, Texas Tech, Ohio State, Stanford

Commits seem so up in the air these days. I don't blame recruits for committing and continuing the process.

Price has not been to ND yet, so hard to blame a kid for trying to secure a spot but then still continuing to do his research.

The Texas offer scares me. As does OSU. Stanford for the academics (Price has a 4.0 GPA)
