Did Jesus ever style himself as a prophet? Not that I know of.
That is certainly true - he never did. However, there are plenty of others in the GT who recognized him, or even explicitly referred to him, as "prophet" (Matthew 16:14, 21:11,46, Mark 6:15, 8:28, Luke 7:16, 9:8,19, to name just a few).
