Four-star TE Kaiden Prothro talks Ohio State camp, Brian Hartline
COLUMBUS – Four-star Carrollton (Ga.) Bowden tight end Kaiden Prothro, the No. 34 overall prospect in the On3 Industry Rankings, holds over 20 scholarship offers but he still wanted to camp at Ohio State this summer.
“I just wanted to see what it is like up here, just to be a Buckeye,” Prothro told Lettermen Row. “See what coach Hartline is like because they didn’t really come to me early on in my recruitment, they kind of hit me late. So it’s just a school that I wanted to check out.”
“I’ve always wanted to come and just see what they’re about because they’re a winning program. They got good things going on so I wanted to get up here and see what it’s like.”
Prothro liked how the Ohio State coaches and players got along with each other.
“It’s nice down here. I love that they like to win. I think the coaches do a great job and the coaches seem to have a good connection with each other, and the players just love each other.”
Prothro may be ranked as a tight end but he worked out with wide receivers coach Brian Hartline at camp along side Ohio State wide receiver commitment Chris Henry Jr.
He and Henry are both 6-foot-5 or taller and Hartline had similar coaching points for two lengthy pass catchers.
“He’s just told me to stay low. So tall guys like me and Chris, we can work together and just learn some things together. Just stay low and just work your feet really. So he was just teaching me some of that stuff.”
In the end, Hartline was just happy to see Prothro make the trip to Columbus and told him as much when he offered him after camp.
“He talked to me about how I am and he was just thankful that I got up here to see what it’s like.”
The 6-foot-6.5 and 210-pound Prothro had 33 receptions for 831 yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 games as a junior. He also plays basketball and baseball at Bowden.
