Uh-huh.
You can't support that argument. You have no evidence that Origen regarded Jesus as a mere prophet. In the event you are unaware, Christians from that time period differentiated a prophet from a Messiah/Christ. They were not the same. A Messiah was a God anointed king, not a mere prophet. He was a savior. A Messiah was someone who the prophets supposedly foretell. To Origen, the proper designation for Jesus was Christ, not prophet. To regard him as a mere prophet was demeaning to his Christ.
And Origen makes that distinction crystal clear.
