Prep QB picks Ohio State

By Staff     Mar 20, 2008

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

The two-sports star announced his decision Wednesday 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 then unzipped his windbreaker to reveal an Ohio State T-shirt and donned an OSU hat.

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

Pryor said Oregon was too far away and Penn State too rural. He said he liked Michigan and new coach Rich Rodriguez, but felt that he had a better shot at making it to the NFL by going to Ohio State.
