Big-bodied freshman tackle with local-bred upside
Colin Prichard enters the 2026 season as a 6-foot-5, 260-pound freshman offensive lineman for Kent State, bringing first-team All-Northeast Lakes Division I honors and a 247Sports Ohio ranking around No. 110 from Mentor HS. He looks like a developmental tackle with frame, length, and room to add strength—useful traits for a program betting on upside in the trenches. The selling point is projection: he’s a young, local prospect with clear tackle size and enough polish to earn all-district/all-conference buzz, but he’s still early in his college career, so patience is part of the package.
