Prince, a 6’0″ senior from Manvel, Texas, had a career-best 231 yards on 20 carries for an 11.6-yard average at Temple in just his third game of the season. Prince followed that up with a 220-yard performance and two TDs against USF, putting up an 8.5 average per game. He completed his career with 1,728 yards and 14 touchdowns in 26 career games at Tulsa.
Tulsa’s NFL Combine invitees in the previous three seasons included Trevis Gipson (DE) and Reggie Robinson II (DB) in 2020, Zaven Collins (LB) in 2021, and Chris Paul (OL), Tyler Smith (OL) and Josh Johnson (WR) in 2022. Collins and Smith were first round NFL selections, Robinson was picked in the fourth round, Gipson in the fifth and Paul in the seventh round.
The NFL Scouting Combine allows prospects to participate in on-field drills in front of NFL evaluators. Additionally, prospects have the opportunity to interview with NFL teams.
