PITTSBURGH: Jeannette (Pa.) High School quarterback Terrelle Pryor, considered to be the best unsigned high school football player in the country, plans to finally announce his college choice at a news conference today.
Pryor was ready to sign with Ohio State at a similar news conference on NCAA letter of intent day Feb. 6, but decided at the last minute to delay his selection. His father, Craig, wanted him to take more time to consider attending nearby Penn State.
The 6-foot-6 Pryor led his high school team to the Pennsylvania Class AA basketball championship last weekend at Penn State, but he has not made an official visit to the school since postponing his decision.
Pryor's final choices were Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and Oregon, a list he recently narrowed to two unannounced schools. While he said last month he would visit Oregon, he never did so.
Pryor was at Ohio State on Feb. 24 — apparently, his only campus trip since his last news conference — though it was not for an official visit. He was with teammate Jordan Hall, an all-state running back, when Hall was offered a scholarship by the Buckeyes.
Hall also has offers from Pittsburgh, Michigan, Penn State and Notre Dame.
Pryor is not believed to have visited Michigan since delaying his decision, although the Wolverines apparently were his other top choice. He did attend a Michigan basketball game on Jan. 19.
Ohio State signed 19 players last month and has been holding a 20th scholarship for Pryor, who had one of the best careers of any athlete in Pennsylvania high school history.
Pryor is the only Pennsylvania player to both rush and pass for at least 4,000 yards in football, and he also scored 2,285 points in basketball. He also would have been heavily recruited in basketball.
He originally committed to the University of Pittsburgh for basketball as a sophomore, but for now, he does not plan to play basketball in college.
