Pritchett is a former five-star prospect and played in 12 games this season that included ten starts at right tackle. He has had an up-and-down career in Tuscaloosa. Last offseason, he was arrested twice by local police in a five-month span. One arrest was for a traffic violation. The other was for knowingly transmitting a sexually transmitted disease.
On the field, he struggled as well. Pritchett allowed 31 pressures this season, which was 18 more than the next player on the Alabama offensive line. The other four starters finished the season with 35 combined.
Pritchett had over 20 offers from around the country as a recruit and will have two years of eligibility remaining.
