The Boston College Eagles football program has received a significant boost with the announcement that safety KP Price will return for his senior season. Price, who has been a key player for the Eagles, shared the news on his social media account, emphasizing his commitment with the message, “Complete the mission.” The graphic accompanying his post featured the phrase “He’s Not Done” alongside his jersey number, No. 2.
Price’s decision comes at a crucial time for Boston College, which has seen a substantial turnover within its roster. Following the end of the 2025 season, a total of 26 players have entered the transfer portal, including several starters. This exodus has raised concerns about maintaining a competitive squad for the upcoming 2026 campaign.
Impressive Career Stats Highlight Price’s Impact
Standing at 6-foot-1 and weighing 200 pounds, Price has consistently delivered strong performances. During the 2025 season, he started all 12 games, contributing significantly with 94 tackles—65 solo—alongside three tackles for loss, three quarterback hits, two interceptions, and one fumble recovery. His efforts earned him a place on the All-ACC Second Team, marking his first end-of-season conference award.
In the previous season, 2024, Price also showcased his skills as a sophomore, making all 13 starts at strong safety. He recorded a team-high 85 tackles, two interceptions, two tackles for loss, and five pass break-ups. Price’s football journey began at Calvert Hall College High School before he transferred to St. Frances Academy for his senior year, where he earned First-Team All-Conference and First Team All-Metro honors.
Leadership and Future Prospects for Boston College
Price’s return is particularly vital as the Eagles transition to a new defensive strategy under first-year defensive coordinator Ted Roof. Roof was appointed on December 30, and his fresh approach will be crucial in guiding the team through the challenges of the upcoming season.
In addition to his on-field contributions, Price’s leadership has been recognized by his teammates and coaching staff. He was named a team captain for the first time ahead of the 2025 season and represented Boston College at the 2025 ACC Football Kickoff in Charlotte, North Carolina, as one of four players selected by head coach Bill O’Brien.
As Boston College prepares for the new season, Price’s experience and leadership will play a pivotal role in shaping the defense and helping to maintain team morale during a period of significant change. His commitment to the program not only strengthens the roster but also inspires his teammates as they aim to build on their competitive legacy in college football.
