PRINCE Strachan continues to pick up additional NCAA offers this offseason, setting the stage for what is expected to be an active recruiting process in his senior year.

Strachan emerged as a star on the gridiron for the John Carroll Catholic High Golden Rams in Fort Pierce, Florida, as a junior and within the last month has picked up offers from Lenoir Rhyne, St Thomas and Notre Dame College.

Strachan previously received an offer from the Charleston Golden Eagles and has also drawn interest from the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers.

The 16-year-old 6’4” wide receiver finished with a team-leading 33 receptions for 633 yards and eight touchdowns last year.

His yardage and touchdown totals were second on the team.

He averaged 18.6 yards per catch and 57.5 receiving yards per game.

The Golden Rams advanced to the Class 3A Regional Final of the Florida High School Athletic Association playoffs and finished the season 9-2.

Strachan had key contributions in both playoff wins. He finished with four receptions for 62 yards and one touchdown in a 33-27 win over First Academy in the opening round.

He followed with three catches for 75 yards, including a 27 yard touchdown in a 48-13 win over the Holy Trinity Tigers in the semifinals.

Prince is the younger brother of Indianapolis Colts receiver Mike Strachan, who was selected in the seventh round of April’s NFL Draft.

The Strachan family was featured by the TC Palm, outlining their transition to the United States and productivity on the football field.

“You get home sick a lot. You really get homesick. Being here by myself, I really had to teach myself how to speak your language.

“Broken English is what we speak in the Bahamas. I had to get used to football and making friends by myself and fending for myself,” Prince said about his move to the United States.

“Having my brother is encouraging. That’s the guy I look up to. He did the same thing I did. It was hard for him.”
