Feldman: Pryor One To Watch This Season
As the press starts to ramp up towards fall camp, here is another hype piece courtesy of sports analyst Bruce Feldman, who is already at work on ESPN Magazine’s College Football Preview issue. He lists his Top 10 Players to watch this fall. TP is on the list at #2.
Terrelle Pryor, QB, Ohio State: The 6-foot-6 sophomore had some spectacular moments this past fall, but he was reluctant to pull the trigger and throw passes to open receivers. Rival coaches say it’s because Pryor didn’t trust his eyes and was too afraid to make mistakes. Most think he needs more refinement and must work on anticipating when his targets will come open. Still, a 12-to-4 touchdown-to-interception ratio and a 61 percent completion rate is impressive for a true freshman quarterback. Now in Year 2, Pryor’s Ohio State offense will be without some very talented and experienced receivers who have moved on to the NFL, along with star running back Chris “Beanie” Wells. Privately, some Buckeyes have said they would’ve preferred if OSU had went with senior Todd Boeckman more this past fall. Regardless, it’s the Pryor Show now.
