Nate Prater brings speed, range, and veteran DB depth to Syracuse
Prater enters Syracuse as a redshirt senior cornerback with a lean, quick profile: EA Sports lists him at 71 OVR with 89 speed, 89 acceleration, and solid zone coverage (73) and press (71), which points to a defender who can close space and compete physically at the line[1]. Syracuse lists him at 5-9, 180 and notes he did not appear in games in 2025 after a 2024 debut, so his value is as an experienced, versatile depth piece who could help on special teams and in sub-packages rather than as an immediate headline stat producer[3][7].
