His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 143 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Prince might have his next game, a road matchup with Brook Hill, circled on his calendar. When Prince last faced the Guard back in November of 2023, he rushed for 133 yards and a touchdown.
