Evan Prater has switched from QB to WR

Cincinnati native Evan Prater is switching from quarterback to wide receiver. Prater started two games last season and was a former four star recruit at the position. He is a 6’4”, 208 pound player who will from just size and skill alone will be an interesting prospect at receiver.

In 2022, he went 35-of-66, 423 yards, a touchdown and an interception. He ran for 166 yards and a touchdown. Now a junior, we will get to see how he adapts to wide receiver at fall camp ahead of the season.

Evan Prater has officially converted to a WR. It was something that was talked about in recent weeks and was made public this morning while at Big 12 Media Days. @FrontOfficeNews
