“A program that jumped in on recruiting me as a 9th grader just as soon as they stepped foot in their new home!” Pringle said. “Made sure to prioritize me in recruitment and with them being just over 30 minutes from my front door, the fan base also has heavy influence in my area!”
The 2024 On3 Consensus, which averages the rankings for all the major recruiting services, ranks Pringle as the No. 1 recruit from the state of South Carolina and the No. 1 offensive tackle in the country. He is also considered the No. 40 overall prospect in his class.
On3 itself considers Pringle the No. 2 offensive tackle, No. 1 prospect in SC and No. 30 overall prospect in his class.

In September of last year, Pringle explained to On3 how he would go back about his decision.
“When I make the decision, it will be like really educated, professional decision,” Pringle told said. “It’s not just gonna be, oh, my friend committed so I’m gonna go there or they said they’re gonna do this. I’m gonna go there. It’s going to be really where I feel comfortable.”
