The Texas A&M football program paid tribute to Price on social media, calling the assistant coach a "legend."

"A legend on the playing field and the sidelines, it is with heavy hearts we mourn the loss of Terry Price and offer our deepest condolences to Coach Price's family and friends," the Aggies' Twitter account shared.

During his coaching tenure, Price helped develop standouts such as two-time All-American pass rusher Myles Garrett. In 2017, the Cleveland Browns selected Garrett No. 1 overall in the draft.

Price is also credited with helping guide late NFL linebacker Quentin Groves when he was at Auburn.
