Price ended the year third in the NEFC in average and total while it is currently 15th and 19th, respectively, in this past week's NCAA Division III statistical standings.

Price ended his three-year career as a Lancer with 594 rushes, 2,839 yards and 19 touchdowns. Price's rushing yardage is the second highest total in the record book – 163 yards off the top spot held by Greg Wood (2001-03).

In addition to Price, Framingham State's James McCarthy (Newton, MA – QB) and Curry's Brian Kuerta (Beverly, MA – OL) both received invitations to play in the prestigious game while Springfield teammates Josh Carter (Marlboro, MA – QB) and Sean Meagher (Cape Elizabeth, ME – OL) were also chosen.
