Prince is a four-star prospect and the No. 6 player at his position, according to 247Sports. The Greenbelt, Maryland native out of Eleanor Roosevelt High School is also a true physical specimen at 6'6" and 272 pounds.

As seen in this photo courtesy of AllMetSports.com, Prince dwarfs most of his peers on the field:

While Prince's size is undoubtedly among his biggest assets, his skill set doesn't end there. Per Drew Champlin of AL.com, Eleanor Roosevelt High School head coach Tom Green is impressed with Prince's ability to do things that much smaller linemen normally excel at.

"He moves really well," Green said. "He's very flexible. He can bend. For a kid that's a shade under 6'7", he has very quick feet and he bends really well. He's about 275, but he has a frame that he can probably put on 320-330 and still be lean."

Prince can truly do it all, which is why his list of suitors was a long and impressive one. According to Bleacher Report's Tyler Donohue back in August, Prince was considering a number of elite programs:

In addition to Ohio State, Maryland, Florida and Alabama, Auburn also entered the mix later, per 247Sports. 

While the Buckeyes were probably already intriguing enough to Prince due to their success and the presence of head coach Urban Meyer, they had a bit of extra help as well.

According to Brandon Parker of The Washington Post, OSU offensive tackle commit Matthew Burrell Jr. attempted to sway Prince in Ohio State's direction at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

"I've been recruiting hard, especially Isaiah," Burrell said. "I think Isaiah is a solid lean with Ohio State, in my biased opinion. That's my boy and I wouldn't mind having him on my side, so hopefully we can make that happen."

Prince has all the measurables and accolades one looks for in a big-time tackle, and it will certainly be fun to see him develop over the next four years.

His high school coach believes he can pack 50 or more pounds onto his current frame and still be functional, so it is entirely possible that the current version of Prince is far different from what college football fans will see down the road.

Whatever the case, there is a great deal of excitement surrounding Prince as a collegiate player, and he will have every opportunity to live up to his immense potential.
