Just to be able to train and catch passes and learn from a pro quarterback, it was one of the best experiences of my life,” Prince said, “I want to be the best in Florida. I want to show what I can do, make my team, and family proud. Senior year is a lot of pressure on me, my team has a lot of high hopes for me so I just want to live up to those.
