Kam Pringle

Dorchester (South Carolina) Woodland coach Eddie Ford had a front-row seat watching Kam Pringle develop from a seventh grader beating up on middle schoolers on the football field to one of the top-ranked offensive linemen in the country. “He was a pudgy little seventh grader when I met him, and I’ve seen him grow,” Ford told On3’s Gamecock Central. “He’s lost the baby weight, and he’s developed into a really, really good football player. But he’s been a great kid the whole time. He’s been humble, level headed. He’s just been a great kid.” Pringle landed his first scholarship offer when he was a freshman in high school, as recruiters saw what Ford was seeing every day in practice. “He’s a physical football player that has a lot of God-given gifts,” Ford said. “He’s a really smart, high football IQ guy.”
