NOTRE DAME FIT

Notre Dame needed tackles in the 2024 class and Prescod gives the Irish that kind of player. His combination of length and athleticism is ideally suited for the edge of the offense, and he shows the natural tools to play left tackle as well. Despite being technically raw, Williams shows a good feel for the game. As the technical parts of his game improve this will become an even greater strength and he should be able to strive on the edge.

BREAKING DOWN PRESCOD

Bryan Driskell, Owner: "Prescod is a work in progress, and he might need time to develop, but I love his tools and potential. The first two things you see when you pop in Prescod's senior film is his impressive length and athleticism. Those two traits project him quite nicely to offensive tackle. Prescod shows a good punch and he bends quite well. His lateral quickness and change of direction skills improved quite a bit as a senior, although his technical footwork is quite raw. Prescod gets after it in the run game, and after a year or two in the strength program he'll be able to be an effective mover. There's a lot to like about this young man's ability."

Ryan Roberts, Recruiting Director: "Prescod is another long offensive tackle with a nice projection down the road. From a length and foot quickness perspective, he brings a lot of desirable traits to the table. The Indiana native is slightly tight hipped but his ability to recover with length is a big help to overcompensate. Prescod showed a big jump in terms of core strength and power as a senior. As he continues to add good weight, there is a chance for Prescod to be an insanely powerful player down the road."
