Maryland Terrapins wide receiver Kaden Prather is drawing attention from professional scouts leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft. He is considered a prospect potentially landing on Day 3 of the selection process.
Prather, who transferred to Maryland from West Virginia, participated in the Shrine Bowl, an event used by teams to evaluate draft-eligible players. His performance there contributed to increased national visibility.
Measuring 6 feet 3 inches and weighing 210 pounds, Prather presents a physical profile that teams look for in wide receivers. His listed measurements include 31 7/8 inch arms and 9 2/8 inch hands.
During combine testing, Prather recorded a 40-yard dash time of 4.46 seconds. His 10-yard split was 1.53 seconds. He also posted a 9-foot-6 broad jump and a 30-inch vertical jump.
Prather earned Third-Team All-Big Ten honors during his time at Maryland. He demonstrated the ability to make contested catches and showed awareness of space on the field.
Across 48 career college games, Kaden Prather caught 162 passes for 1,966 yards. He averaged 12.1 yards per reception and scored 12 touchdowns.
In the 2024 season specifically, he appeared in 12 games, recording 56 receptions for 624 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Recent projections have placed Kaden Prather in the later rounds of the draft. A seven-round mock draft from April 12 projected him as a Round 5 selection, pick number 150 overall.
Another projection suggested Prather could be a seventh-round selection, potentially with a team like the New Orleans Saints at pick 223.
Beyond specific picks, teams reportedly showing interest or listed as potential landing spots for the receiver include the Seattle Seahawks, Miami Dolphins, Dallas Cowboys, and the Buffalo Bills. His size, speed, and route capabilities are viewed as traits that could translate to the next level.
