After years of waiting, R.J. Prince excited to be a starter

Posted Sep 16, 2016
When redshirt junior R.J. Prince started against Illinois last Saturday, he saw three and a half years of hard work and patience pay off. "It felt like I achieved a goal. It's something that I've been working for. It felt good to achieve it," Prince said. Waiting for almost four years, Prince was hyped up and ready to perform, but maybe a little too ready.
