Prince, who had one of the fastest GPS times (21.77 mph) last season against Jacksonville State, according to Next Gen Stats, led all tight ends nationally with 10 touchdown catches in 2021.
Prince has recovered from a hamstring injury that slowed him at his pro day, where he ran a 4.77 in the 40-yard dash. He has previously run the 40-yard dash in 4.68 seconds.
The UAB tight end had a 9’6″ broad jump, a 32 1/2-inch vertical leap, a 9’6″ broad jump, and a 7.25 three-cone drill. He also bench-pressed 225 pounds 14 times.
Prince caught 36 passes for 699 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, averaging 19.4 yards per catch. He’s a converted wide receiver. The 6’4″, 239-pounder is versatile enough to line up as an H-back, fullback, slot receiver, or traditional tight end.
A transfer from Butler Community College, Prince chose UAB over Eastern Michigan, Texas State, and Troy.
