He remained locked in with Auburn throughout.

“I’m excited to hear about the new hire. I am still locked in with Auburn!”

PINK’S ANALYSIS

Parker Pritchett has a slender build with a tall frame at 6-foot-4, 310 pounds. However, that was not always the case. When we saw him at the Under Armour Camp in 2024, Pritchett was well above 330 pounds. He has since trimmed down significantly and kept the weight off as he’s matured. Even while slender now, he’s beginning to add the right weight to his frame. Pritchett can carry plenty of weight on his frame while maintaining mobility.

When it comes to that mobility, Pritchett shows excellent feet and agility, especially when on the move or out in space. He can put a foot in the ground and cut as a puller. It can look unorthodox for his size, and that is a good thing.

Pritchett needs some refining when it comes to technique, especially as a pass protector. His ability to make impact blocks out in space while showing some road-grader ability will be a good starting point. Early playing time is probably not in the equation, but his frame has plenty of room to grow, and he has a high athletic ceiling. Pritchett has a bright future.
