Price attended Blanche Ely High School in Pompano Beach, Florida, where he played as a cornerback and free safety on the football team.
As a senior in 2010, opponents threw his way only 23 times and he still made five interceptions and 12 pass break-ups, to go along with 39 tackles and 5 forced fumbles.
He helped lead Ely to an 11–2 record and the state 5A regionals, where they were defeated by nationally ranked St. Thomas Aquinas.
He earned Sun Sentinel all-county honors and was selected to play in the annual Dade vs. Broward County high school all-star game in January.
He originally gave an oral commitment to Minnesota but ultimately decided to play for the North Carolina Tar Heels in order to be closer to home.
