Early life Prince was born on October 12, 2000, in Charleston, Mississippi. He attended Charleston High School and played three sports while being a four-year varsity football player.

College career As a true freshman at Ole Miss in 2019, Prince appeared in all 12 games, three as a starter, and totaled 25 tackles along with two interceptions. He said that he felt "immature" in his first year at Ole Miss, and he thus transferred in 2020 to Northeast Mississippi Community College.

Prince transferred back to Ole Miss in 2021 and made the team as a walk-on. That season, he started seven games and posted 46 tackles along with two interceptions. He recorded 39 tackles, an interception, and a team-leading 11 pass breakups as a senior in 2022, while starting all 13 games. Being granted an extra year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Prince opted to return for a final season in 2023. He finished his Ole Miss career with 146 tackles, 27 pass breakups and six interceptions. He was invited to the East–West Shrine Bowl and participated at the NFL Scouting Combine.
