Pryor is a special, special prospect and one of the nation’s truly elite athletes. He started as a junior at QB and safety, and wants to play QB in college. He’s talented enough to excel at the position, just as he could also excel at OLB, DE, WR or TE. He’s that sort of athlete. I’m initially ranking him as a TE, and the nation’s best at that!...........Earned First Team All-State as an all-purpose offensive threat as a junior after earning Second Team honors on the other side of the ball after his sophomore season………..Talk about being a dual-threat QB. As a junior, he led his team to the PIAA Class AA title game by passing for 1,720 yards and 15 TDs and running for another 1,703 yards and 23 TDs. As a safety, he had 5 INTs and quite a few sacks heading into the PIAA playoffs…....As a sophomore QB, he completed 53-of-106 passes for 719 yards and 6 TDs, and rushed for 663 yards and 10 TDs. On defense, he started at DE and OLB………Pryor has unusual quickness and speed for a big man (he runs the sprints in track) and possesses a strong arm (can throw the ball 70 yards in the air). His coach compares him to Vince Young with his great size, rocket arm and superb athleticism……As a quarterback, he’s still a bit raw but made tremendous strides between his sophomore and junior years and would be ranked among the nation’s very best (albeit it in a down year for the position)…….I like him best as a receiver due to his great frame, speed, athleticism, hands and ability to go vertical and get the ball……..Also stars in hoops and is one of the nation’s better prospects in that sport as well. He projects as a wing man. He has early offers to play basketball from the likes of Connecticut, Michigan, Clemson, Penn State and Pitt……….As of early January he had offers for football from such programs as Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, Florida, Pittsburgh, Clemson, West Virginia and Nebraska…….Wants to play both sports in college, and he’s unique enough to be able to do it…….Had initially committed to play basketball at Pittsburgh back in January 2006, but he recanted a couple of months later…….3.5 GPA through his sophomore year……Will be remembered as one of the best athletes ever produced by Pennsylvania and will be rolling in money sooner rather than later.

Pryor the center of attention

TRIBUNE-REVIEW

Wednesday, November 22, 2006

 

A Michigan football coach walked into Jeannette High School on Monday to look at film of junior quarterback Terrelle Pryor.

The coach hadn't seen Pryor play in person, so wanted to watch some tape. He was impressed.

 

"They offered him a scholarship on the spot," Jeannette coach Ray Reitz said. "He said he'll be back next week."

Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 5%

This guy sounds like a freak of nature. I wonder if he is a good enough thrower in the WCO. I would expect Texas and Florida to recruit this kid hard.

Watched some replays of the game he played in his week. He made some really good throws with a tight spiral. Also had on hell of a 70 yd touchdown run that sealed the game for his team. I believe they play in the championship game this week. The plays I saw him make remind me of Vince Young. Just my 2 cents.

 
watched him play at heinz field as he single handedly won the aa championship last friday.

really not that big of a passing threat in my eyes but he is a very very smart runner.
