Pritchett committed to Matt Rhule and the Cornhuskers after visiting Nebraska. He entered the portal on Jan. 4 following the end of the Crimson Tide’s season.

Alabama finished this past season 9-4 overall — the first time the Crimson Tide had finished with less than 10 wins in a season since 2007, which was Nick Saban’s first season as head coach. Pritchett most recently played in the ReliaQuest Bowl against Michigan .
In 2023, Pritchett appeared in 13 games as a reserve offensive tackle and on special teams. The 6-foot-6, 312-pound offensive lineman proved himself a valuable asset off the bench as he helped lead Alabama to a 12-2 record and appearance in the College Football Playoff.
