Overview: 

Pritchett was one of the breakout stars for the Tigers’ defense in 2020 and is expected to be even better in 2021. Look for the junior to see some time at cornerback ut his speciality is at the nickel position.

Already being looked at by NFL scouts and touted for his playmaking abilities, a solid season from Pritchett could lead to an early departure for the pros.
