Prince was selected by head coach Rick Neuheisel to start the 2009 season opener in the Rose Bowl against San Diego State and won the game 33-14.[2] In that game, he completed 18 of 29 passes for 176 yards and threw 1 interception.[3]
College career

As a freshman, Prince started 11 games and threw for 2,050 yards on the year. He became just the second UCLA quarterback to pass for over 300 yards in 3 games during the year[4][5] and is second in many freshman records at UCLA, mostly behind Tommy Maddox. He injured his shoulder in the 2009 EagleBank Bowl.
- 2010
Prince was team captain for the 2010 season.[3] On September 25, 2010, Prince led the Bruins to an upset victory over then-No. 7 ranked Texas Longhorns 34-12 in front of more than 101,430 fans in Austin, Texas. Previous week, the Bruins were victorious over then-No. 23 Houston Cougars 31-13 at home. He reinjured his shoulder aggravated the previous season and missed 2 games. He then injured his knee and only started 5 games and passed for 384 yards.
- 2011
Prince finished the 2011 1,828 yards passing with 12 touchdowns and 8 interceptions. He started 10 games as well but was hurt in 1 of them and missed two games with an injury as well.[6]
- 2012
Prince had an injury plagued 2012 summer and eventually was beat out in fall practice by freshman Brett Hundley.[7] He only attempted 4 passes on the year and graduated later that year, thus ending his football career.
UCLA legacy
Prince was known for his injury plagued career that derailed him from being an elite QB. He finished 9 in career passing yards, and 8th in total offense.
Personal
His father is a dentist, who graduated from UCLA.[8] Prince is also a devout Mormon, who delayed his Mormon mission.[1][8] He married to former UCLA gymnast Tauny Frattone in 2013 and they had a son in 2014.
At the Tennessee game, Prince's right jaw was broken in the final minutes of the game. It took four weeks for it to heal, and he missed two games. He also injured his shoulder in the USC game, which was aggravated late in the 2009 EagleBank Bowl verses Temple.
