Pringle is a unique prospect due to his skill set at the running back position. He possesses big play ability and break away speed. Do not let his No. 85 fool into thinking he is a receiver although he has natural knack for catching the football out of the backfield.

Looking at Pringle at the next level he can be a third-down option with size to do more than just catch the football. He does a very nice job running between the tackles and displays the fight to avoid first contact take downs. It is one of his best qualities and possibly most underrated aspect of his game the ability to break tackles and show burst after initial contact.

He is an efficient route runner and with fine hands and receiving ability. His speed will help him garner attention from NFL teams. He was invited to Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers ‘Local Days’. Pringle has the skill set to get noticed in camp and likely will be a priority free agent.
