Geoffrey Scott Price (born August 29, 1984 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American football punter for the University of Notre Dame football team.

Career

High school

Price was named to the Big XII All-Region Super Team as punter. His junior year he averaged 45.6 yards per punt, which dropped to 39.5 yards per punt his senior year because of an ankle injury. He set a school record with his career-long 74 yard punt, and also played free safety on defense with 101 stops and two interceptions. He was also a member of both the National Honor Society and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

College

Price had seen little playing time as reserve punter at Notre Dame, playing in only two games his sophomore year and seeing no action both his freshman and junior years. In his senior year however, he took over for D.J. Fitzpatrick, and had high expectations.[1] He was ranked fifth in the NCAA in punting, thanks in part to a strong performance against Penn State in a 41–17 victory.[2][3] For the 2006 season, Price had an average of 48 yards per punt, including a career-long 62-yard kick. He was named a semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award in 2006.[4]
