Terrelle Pryor goes off!


We all know that Terrelle Pryor is a special player. The Jeannette HS (Jeannette, PA) quarterback is listed at 6-6, 230 lbs. Almost a unanimous choice for the #1 high school senior in the nation (ESPN #3), Pryor played a game that will be remembered for a long time.

In what was the highest scoring playoff game in WPIAL history, Jeannette HS defeated Aliquippa HS 70-48.

Pryor brought back memories of Tony Dorsett as the young QB ran for 331 yards and five rushing touchdowns. Just for kicks, he threw in 90 yards passing and two scoring throws. Thats 421 yards of total offense and 7 touchdowns!

I realize that most of these kids trying to tackle the Vince Young clone will not be playing D-1 football but Aliquippa and the Western PA. football league is no joke. Jonathan Baldwin, David Posluszny (brother of Paul), and Ryan Turnley are all ranked in the PA. Top-40 by Rivals. And that is just the Sr. class.

He has narrowed his list to Ohio St, WVU, Tennessee, Florida and PSU.
Ohio St is the team to beat for Pryor. He has taken multiple unofficials and was on campus for the Wisconsin game officially. Pryor is very concerned with the style of offense. He wants to be able to run the ball. Fla and WVU are following in a close 2nd.

Oh, and did I mention that Pryor is also one of the top-30 basketball prospects in America too? Thad Matta anyone? Not to mention the fact that star recruits Michael Brewster, DeVier Posey and Lamar Thomas have been recruiting him hard for Jim Tressell.

Just imagine everyday Thad Matta, Jim Tressell, Ted Ginn Sr, Brewster, Posey and Thomas call you just to say, 'hey, we are thinking about how much we love you.' Tough to say no to that.

Here is a taste of what Pryor did in the state title game last year...
