PODCAST: Running Back Jadarian Price Commits To Notre Dame

Irish Breakdown dives into the commitment of running back Jadarian Price to Notre Dame

Notre Dame has picked up a 2022 commitment from Denison (Texas) High School running back Jadarian Price.

Irish Breakdown football analyst Vince DeDario and publisher Bryan Driskell dive into this commitment.

The show begins with the Irish Breakdown crew talking about Price's skillset and recruiting profile. That is followed by a discussion of how well Price fits into the Notre Dame offense. They wrap things up by discussing the running back needs in the class and what other running back targets remain on the board.

Here are the articles written about Price:

Here is Driskell's film analysis of Price:

Although listed as an all-purpose back by Rivals, Price plays like a pure runner, one capable of making plays between the tackles, on the perimeter and in the pass game out of the backfield. Price is a highly productive back that has already rushed for over 3,000 yards and 30 touchdowns.

Price is a natural running back that shows good patience, vision and decision making. His patience is one of my favorite parts of his game. Price can get downhill in a hurry when he wants to, but he will get on his run track, let the blocks set up and wait until he's made his read before planting and exploding vertically. Yes, Price can plant and go immediately when he needs to, but his patience allows him to find and hit cutback lines effectively.

Despite his foot quickness and impressive agility, the Denison star tries to be a north-south runner as much as possible. Price shows a good burst when he plants and gets vertical, and when he gets a step he displays impressive acceleration that allows him to be a home run hitter.

He's not a back that likes to juke all the time, which I like, and he's a relatively efficient runner, which allows him to maximize available yards. Price can, however, make defenders miss in space when he wants to, or needs to, and he shows impressive balance, which combines with his relatively strong lower body to help him run through arm tackles on the second and third levels.

Price is built a lot like current Notre Dame running back Chris Tyree. He's a bit on the shorter side and not a massive back, but he runs hard and won't shy away from contact. Price hauled in 28 passes as a junior, but most of that was out of the backfield.
