3 star OL Tyler Pritchett 6'2" 28lbs) of Auburn, AL is already a hotly recruiting prospect with 16 offers on the board. USC offered him several weeks ago while Clemson joined the list on Monday. Some of his other offers are Mississippi State, Kentucky, Louisville, Arizona, Missouri, North Carolina, Cincinnati and Indiana. He has a top five of USC, Indiana, North Carolina, Missouri and Louisville in no order.
Pritchett went to a junior day at Mississippi State this past weekend. He said he’s expecting a Florida offer in the next couple of days and may go there some time soon. He also went to USC’s junior day in late January.
“It was my first time up there at South Carolina,” said Pritchett who is friends with Gamecock signee Quandeski Whitlow. “The coaches, the atmosphere, it had a really good feel. I got a good feel for it and I’m really glad I too that visit. ”
Pritchett said Clemson and USC have talked with him about playing center, and he can also play guard. He said the offer from Clemson did not surprise him.
“Coach Caldwell and I have a really good relationship, he’s been recruiting me since last April,” Pritchett said. “It’s a real big offer I think. Coach Swinney is trying to make something happen at Clemson. They are trying to build a national championship winning program. I respect that. I’ve been up there before. I’ve had a good time up there so I know what they are trying to do.”
Pritchett said he could return to Clemson for its next junior day March 7th. As for hometown Auburn, Pritchett said the Tigers have been recruiting him since the eighth grade but has not offered. He also camped at Alabama and would like to get more attention from the Crimson Tide.
Pritchett said he had planned to make a decision last Tuesday and had actually decided on a school, but he and his parents decided that was too soon and they wanted to see what other offers come in. He’d now like to make a decision before his senior season if possible. If not, he could wait until Signing Day.
Pritchett said he does not have a favorite at this point.
