A second player has been added to the Steelers’ pre-draft visit counter, with The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo reporting Wednesday that Pittsburgh hosted Washington cornerback Ephesians Prysock for a visit last week.
Prysock fits the
mold of a long, physical press cornerback, listed at 6’3 and 196 pounds, with over 33-inch arms.
Prysock made 48 total tackles, one interception, and seven passes defensed in 2025 for the Huskies. Per Mock Draft Database, he is currently projected as a fifth-round pick using the consensus.
“Prysock is a tall corner with impressive length but a high center of gravity that limits transitions,” NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein wrote in his predraft scouting report. “He’s upright in his pedal and can be late at break points in off coverage. He stays more connected when he can press and displays good acceleration/make-up speed when needed. His traits and field awareness fit well with short zone/shell coverages. Regardless of coverage, Prysock’s lack of anticipatory aggression and short-area suddenness fail to generate enough on-ball production, which limits his upside.”
The Steelers previously met with Miami offensive tackle Markel Bell for a pre-draft visit, per reports.
