Eastern Michigan running back Brandon “Overdrive” Prince enters the DSFL draft coming off of a 1700 yard senior season at EMU. The draft, which starts on January 20th, is filled to the brim with talent from the college levels. Brandon Prince hopes to stand out in the pool of hopefuls.
When asked about the draft, Prince said “It doesn’t matter where I go in the draft. I know a team believes in me if they choose me”. The running back has spent his whole life fighting adversity, born into an impoverished family, Prince made the most of his situation and did his family proud by making the Allen Park Jaguars high school football team. Though he wasn’t a star, he managed to get a scholarship from Eastern Michigan University, and he promptly fought up the depth chart until he was a full time starter by his Sophomore year.
Prince dominated the MAC conference during his Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years, racking up over 4000 career rushing yards, a school record. He set a school record for rushing yards in a season with over 1700 his senior year. When asked why he thinks he’ll succeed facing a higher level of competition, Prince stated “I’ve got that will to win. When you’ve got that, it doesn’t matter who you’re playing”. Prince asserts that any team who drafts him “will not be disappointed”. As he turns 22, the draft will show just what value he holds to DSFL teams.
The Prospect Bowl, an annual tradition before the DSFL draft, has a new format this year which involves 4 teams who play each other 3 times over 3 days. Prince is a member of the Machu Picchu Sols, splitting carries with Tom Adamo in the backfield. In day 1, he ran for an impressive 4 touchdowns, but disappointed with only 1.4 yards per carry. Time will tell if he can improve his agility and hopefully get more yards per attempt. Although the Prospect Bowl doesn’t matter all too much in regards to scouting, it’s always a bonus to do well during it, and with day 3 tonight, Prince has an opportunity to make things right.
Prince believes he can put the DSFL on notice and hopefully get to the ISFL. With the right coaching, he can develop into a solid running back for years to come:
