Prime put forth a prime effort in Wagner’s 38-28 season-opening Northeast Conference victory on Staten Island. The junior linebacker, who was starting for the 17th time as a collegian, logged seven tackles (four solo, three assist) and made his first career interception. With the Seahawks clinging to a 17-14 lead and Saint Francis facing a 1st-and -10 from its own 31, Prime stepped up and produced a game-changing play. The linebacker picked off John Kelly’s pass and took it 37 yards for a touchdown. Prime nearly forced a turnover in the first quarter of a scoreless game when he jarred the ball loose from Kelly on a 3rd-and-4 play before it took a fortuitous bounce back into the signal caller’s hands.
