Terry Price's life and legacy

Price has been associated with the game of football for his entire life. As a player from 1986-89, he led the defensive line in tackles during his junior and senior seasons while being an integral part of Texas A&M's back-to-back conference championships.

He earned All-Southwest Conference honors as a senior, which helped him to get selected in the 10th round of the 1990 NFL draft (255th overall) by the Chicago Bears. After his playing career, he transitioned into coaching.

He was part of the coaching staff for the Auburn Tigers from 1999–2008, the Ole Miss Rebels (1995-98 and 2009-11), and the Texas A&M Aggies (2012-present). One of the most notable things he became synonymous with was his regular defensive lineman cookouts.

Price was a key component in helping the Aggies transition to a 4-3 defense, which has paid off hugely for the program.

With the Aggies, he was a defensive assistant with the last two head coaches, Kevin Sumlin and Jumbo Fisher.

One of his most notable coaching jobs was developing Landis Durham in 2017 from a backup linebacker in the program to leading the entire Southeastern Conference with 10.5 sacks.

On the field, Terry Price was one of the best recruiters of his time, as he attracted defensive linemen stars such as Myles Garrett, Justin Madubuike, DeMarvin Leal, and Dylon Mack to join the program. He was integral in ensuring the programs he was associated with remained bowl eligible. Under his tutelage, his teams went to 21 bowl games.

Terry Price is survived by his wife, Kenya, and their two sons, Alexander and Devin.
