Mekhi Prather Mekhi Prather 5'7" | 145 lbs | ATH/RB Westlake | 2026 State MD is the type of player every roster wants and every other coordinator dreads preparing for. The senior defensive back is a true weapon with the ball in his hands, whether he’s reading quarterbacks on the back end or turning special-teams touches into field-flipping plays. Prather’s blend of shiftiness and big play speed makes him a constant big-play threat in the return game, where defenders often find themselves grasping at air once he hits open space.

On defense, Prather’s range jumps off the film. From his safety spot, he diagnoses routes and closes downhill with urgency and tracks deep balls with receiver-like instincts. His ball production speaks for itself, 7 interceptions, 161 return yards, and 7 pass breakups, validating his reputation as one of the most disruptive defensive backs in the state.
