Keith Price (born June 28, 1991) is a Canadian football quarterback for the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He played college football at Washington, where he was the starting quarterback from 2011 to 2013. He was a member of Saskatchewan Roughriders of the CFL in 2014 and 2015.
Price grew up in Compton, California, and attended St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, California. As a senior at St. John Bosco, he completed 143 of 200 passes for 2,260 yards and 24 touchdowns, while also rushing for 579 yards and 10 touchdowns. Price's performance in high school was overshadowed by Matt Barkley who became the Gatorade National Football Player of the Year while playing for Bosco rival Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California. Price was co-MVP of the Trinity League.
In July 2008, Price announced that he had accepted a football scholarship to attend the University of Washington.
After serving on the scout team while redshirting in 2009, Price became the Huskies' backup quarterback in 2010. He appeared in eight games and was the starting quarterback against the No. 1 ranked Oregon Ducks. He completed 14 of 28 passes against Oregon for 127 yards, no interceptions, and a touchdown. He also replaced Jake Locker against USC, and threw a touchdown pass on his first play in the game.
