A highly touted linebacker out of Woodland Hills in Allegheny County, Price recently received a release from his letter of intent to Ohio State.

He’ll have immediate eligibility to play for the Panthers this season.

The 6-foot, 235-pound Price played both tight end and linebacker at Woodland Hills. Scout.com ranked him as one of the top-15 middle-linebacker prospects in the country and he was named All-State Class AAAA by the Pennsylvania Sports Writers.

He also helped lead the Wolverines to two consecutive appearances in the WPIAL Class AAAA Championship games.

“Ejuan Price is an outstanding addition to our freshman class,” Pitt head coach Todd Graham said in a statement. “He comes from a tremendous football program in Woodland Hills. Ejuan is an explosive player who has great leadership abilities. He will fit in well with our defensive schemes and philosophies.”

Price joins the team with three other Woodland Hills prospects, including defensive lineman Khaynin Mosley-Smith and defensive backs Lafayette Pitts and Jevonte Pitts.
