Prothro, the No. 32 overall prospect, the No. 2 tight end, and the No. 3 player in Georgia in the On3 Industry Ranking, has official visits set to all of his finalists save for Texas. He’s scheduled to see Georgia on May 30, Alabama on June 6, Auburn on June 10 and Florida on June 13, per On3.

On3’s Chad Simmons spoke with Prothro in December and found out what he likes about the Longhorns.

“They play great football over there and the past two years, they’ve been playing well,” Prothro said. “They’re showing that they’re going to be the team in a couple of years. I like that about Texas and they play hard.”

The 6-foot-5.5, 210-pounder had 56 catches for 1203 yards and 22 touchdowns in 2024. In his career, he has 99 catches for 2250 yards and 39 touchdowns.

Here’s an evaluation on Prothro from January.

“At 6-foot-6.5, and 210 pounds, Prothro is a four-star athlete offered by Texas on May 15, 2024. An athletic freak on both the football and basketball fields, Prothro dominates as a flex tight end, showcasing elite range, physicality in the run game, and scoring ability from anywhere on the field.”

On3 ranks Prothro as the No. 62 overall prospect, the No. 2 tight end, and the No. 6 player in Georgia. Every scouting service save for On3 has Prothro in the top 50 of its rankings.
