Pryor chooses Ohio State

The Baltimore Sun

Highly regarded prep quarterback Terrelle Pryor is headed to Ohio State.

The two-sport star announced his decision yesterday at Jeannette High School, about 25 miles east of Pittsburgh, where he had one of the greatest prep careers in Pennsylvania history. Flanked by his parents, brother, sister and other supporters, the 6-foot-6 Pryor wasted no time with his decision: "If everyone's here," he said, "University of Ohio State."

He picked Ohio State over Michigan, Penn State and Oregon.

Pryor is the only Pennsylvania player to both rush and pass for at least 4,000 yards in football. He also scored 2,285 points in basketball. For now, Pryor said he does not plan to play basketball in college.
