In September 2009, Prater committed to USC. He graduated early from high school and intended to be an early enrollee at USC for the spring term,[5] but decided to wait on enrolling after he found out that Pete Carroll was going to become the Seattle Seahawks new head coach. Prater decided to go through with his plans to enroll early at USC when Lane Kiffin was named USC's new head coach.[6] He red shirted his freshman year due to injury.[7]
