“Choosing Auburn University was one of the best decisions of my life,” Pritchett wrote in his Instagram announcement. “Receiving a degree and playing football at this university were easily some of my biggest blessings. The memories I’ve made at Auburn University will forever stay with me as I continue to work toward my dreams.
“Lastly, to my Auburn family, I will miss you guys immensely packing out Jordan-Hare on Saturdays. Thank you for the crazy amount of support you implemented. I will forever cherish the moments created.
“With that being said, I will not be participating in our upcoming bowl game because I will be focusing on preparing for the 2024 NFL Draft.”
