Pritchett is returning just in time, as the Tigers recently lost nickelback Keionte Scott to an ankle injury.
Pritchett has collected 93 tackles and 2 INTs in his college career. The 5th year corner and DJ James give the Tigers one of the best CB duos in the nation when healthy. Even without Pritchett, the Tigers have the 12th-ranked passing defense nationally through 3 games.
The Tigers and Aggies are slated to kick off at noon ET.
