Tuesday

Stiff-legged dead lift 3x6-8

Prowler Walks

Thursday
Overhead Press 3x5 Pros/FSL 2x5-8

DB Bench 3x10

DB Rows 5x10

Band Pull-Apart 5x10/Bicep Curl 3x10 – Hammer Curl 2x10

Friday

Light Squat 3x3 FSL (from Tuesday) or DB Squat 3x10

Personally, I would do DB squats of 3x10 rather than more barbell squats.

Why do you feel the need to even add an extra squat day? Do you not get enough leg work in with the squat day and 2 prowler walk days?

Use the DB squat.
