Sources: Price Likely Returning To Pitt

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Sources say it appears the NCAA will grant Pitt Panthers defensive end Ejuan Price a 6th year of eligibility so that may return to the program.

A source tells KDKA-TV sports producer Mike Vukovcan that the news isn't official yet but Price will likely be able to return.

Price was able to stay away from injuries which allowed him to have a monster season for Pitt.

Price was named to the ACC 1st team defense, and led Pitt with 11.5 sacks.

That sack total ranked Price 5th in college football.

If Price does return, coach Pat Narduzzi will have big-time talent at the defensive end spot.

It will feature Price, Dewayne Hendrix, Rori Blair, Shakir Soto, Allen Edwards and Zack Gilbert.
