Marshall to Add Former West Virginia Player of the Year After WVU Exit

A former West Virginia Gatorade Player of the Year is going to stay in the state and play for Marshall after his exit from WVU.

Judah Price has now committed to the Thundering Herd to continue his college career. Price officially entered the transfer portal on April 16 after being cut by West Virginia following the conclusion of spring practice.

A 2023 recruit of former WVU coach Neal Brown, Price decided to take a PWO (preferred walk-on) offer from the Mountaineers out of high school over opportunities with smaller schools.

Despite Price’s star power on the high school level in West Virginia, WVU was his only major offer.

In 2022, his final high school season, Price (5-foot-8, 165 pounds) shattered several West Virginia state records at Independence High School. These included the most points scored in a season with 396. He scored a staggering 53 total touchdowns, with 49 of them coming on the ground. The Coal City native rushed for over 2,500 yards and even completed 39 two-point conversions.

In addition to being named the West Virginia Gatorade Player of the Year, Price was also the Kennedy Award winner.
