Pratt produced 118 total touchdowns over 44 career starts at Tulane. The Green Wave won 24 games over the last two seasons and were ranked in the Top 25 at some point each season.

Pratt also threw at least 20 touchdown passes with fewer than 10 interceptions during each of his four seasons as a starter. Between the 2022 and 2023 seasons, Pratt threw 49 touchdown passes and 10 interceptions while completing 64.4 percent of his passes and averaging 8.5 yards per attempt as Tulane went 21-3 in his 24 starts, which included wins over Kansas State, Cincinnati and USC.
