It shows him as a three star.

Quote:Career Summary
Prongos has appeared in 10 games and made eight starts through three seasons … has made five starts at left tackle, two starts at right guard and one game at right tackle.
2024
Played in nine games and made the first eight starts of his career … started five games at left tackle, two games at right guard and one game at right tackle … made his first-career start at right tackle in the season opener at Hawai’i (Aug. 31) … started at right guard against LSU (Sept. 21) and Oregon (Sept. 28) … entered the starting rotation offensive line rotation at left tackle in Week 5 at Penn State, where he made five consecutive starts (Oct. 5) … saw success in the O-Line configuration of Prongos-Holstege-Yoon-Carlin-DiGiorgio, which started a span of five straight games from Week 5-9 … in that configuration, UCLA averaged over 100 yards more of total offense from its previous four games (367 yards per game) … against Iowa, helped UCLA to a season-high 211 rushing yards while not allowing a sack for the first time in 2024 (Nov. 8) … earned Athletic Director’s Honor Roll for the winter and spring quarters … missed the last three games of the season due to injury.
...
High School
Prepped at Marin Catholic High School (Kentfield, Calif.) … transferred to Marin Catholic for his senior year … also attended Branson High School (Ross, Calif.) … first started playing football as a senior at Marin Catholic, appearing at tight end, defensive end and offensive tackle … only played three games his senior season before missing the rest of the year due to injury
Quote:Prongos was a bit of a revelation this year, going from walk-on to arguably one of UCLA's top offensive linemen in the same season. He played at both tackle spots, as well as guard, and showed good mobility and athleticism. He was hurt at the end of the year, but the injury is not expected to impact him heading into next season. He'll have two years left.
If UCLA cannot get Prongos back out of the Portal, this is a brobdingnagian blow. UCLA's offensive line was one of the worst in the country this past season, but Prongos was a bright spot. Without him, the Bruins will definitely need to get at least one impact starter on the offensive line (which was already the case), but likely will need two or three if they want to improve on this season's line play.
