Early years
Brandon Prince was born on February 22nd, 2019 in Allen Park, Michigan. As a child, his family was impoverished and struggled to find housing and food. Prince recalled during that time period he "thought every day [he] was gonna die of hunger". He did manage to get an elementary education however, and went to middle school as normal. His brother Darrelle was born on July 5th, 2029, and Prince said later in interviews "I had never had a friend in school, so once Darrelle was able to talk, we were closer than a pack of sardines". During this time, Prince struggled academically, and barely finished middle school. However, in high school, Prince turned things around academically and got honor roll during his freshman year. During his sophomore year at high school, a friend of his said that Prince should try out for the football team after they had played a bit of backyard football on the weekend. Prince according to his own admission never thought he was any good at football up until that point. When he tried out however, he made the team and quickly cemented himself as the 2nd string running back. Things stayed that way, with Prince getting few carries until his Junior year, when on opening day, the starting running back suffered bruise ribs on a hit early in the 3rd quarter. With Prince having an opportunity, he made the most of it, racking up 72 yards in the next quarter alone. Prince didn't amount to much following this however, but kept the starting job. During week 4 of his Senior season, Prince broke off for a 92 yard touchdown run, where he earned the nickname "Overdrive" for his speed during the play. After another disappointing season, only a few college teams chose to offer him a scholarship at running back. Prince chose Eastern Michigan University, as that was where his grandfather had gone to college.
College career
Prince was brought in as the 5th string running back, but quickly moved up the depth chart now that he had a better diet, better coaching, and had matured more as a player. During his true freshman year, Prince broke off for a 57 yard run in the final minutes of a 62-7 loss to Michigan State University, which would be Prince's first collegiate touchdown. After climbing up the depth chart, he made his first start on Week 9 of the 2037 season after the starting running back fumbled twice in their previous game to Akron. Prince made the most his chance, tallying 135 yards and 2 touchdowns in a win vs Northern Illinois. Prince was named starter ahead of his Sophomore year, and his true potential began to show. He ran for 1,019 yards that season, including 181 in a game vs Central Michigan where he also racked up 3 touchdowns. Prince also finished the year with a conference leading 15 touchdown runs. His Junior season would prove to be another step up, gaining 1,393 yards and 14 touchdowns in a year which saw Eastern Michigan have a winning record at the end of the year for the first time since the 2029 season. More eyes were on Prince following his Junior campaign, not only for his stats, but also for his arrest on April 14th 2040 for marijuana possession. He was released on bail one week later, which sparked speculations that Eastern Michigan was paying Prince, leading to more eyes on Prince. During the 2040 season however, Prince would break the Eastern Michigan record for rushing yards in a season with 1,711, along with again leading the MAC in touchdowns with 17. He also broke the record for most career rushing yards at EMU, with 4,327. Prince entered the DSFL draft in 2041.
