D’Vonte Price was a 3-star prospect out of Charlotte high school in Punta Gorda, FL. He chose to stay home in Florida and committed to Florida International University. D’Vonte Price joined Florida International in 2017, but was relegated to being a backup until the 2018 season where he became the team’s pass catching back (15 receptions for 116 yards). In 2019, his share of carries and receptions was reduced by a 5th year running back and a receiver turned running back. We’re 3 seasons into Price’s career and he’s still never been the lead back. 2020 was the turn of the tide. D’Vonte Price seized the starting role and rushed for 518 yards in a shortened 5 game season. He missed a number of games in his final season, but still led the Golden Panthers with 682 rushing yards and another 83 yards through the air.
At the Senior Bowl, his running style was a lot different than those on his team looking clunkier at times. His performance there earned him an invite to the Combine where he blazed. Coming in at 6-1 210 lbs, he ran a 4.38 which equated to a 95th percentile Speed Score. However, his 6th round draft projection should tell you what NFL teams think.
D’Vonte Price was a UDFA signed by the Indianapolis Colts following the 2022 NFL Draft. He’s not going to start or see any playing time with Taylor and Hines on the roster.
