It looked like Evan Pryor would have a productive Ohio State football career, but an injury during his freshman season held him back.
The North Carolina native was the No. 6 running back and No. 83 overall prospect in his class on the 247Sports composite. He selected the Buckeyes over offers from Alabama, Georgia, LSU and a host of others.
Unfortunately, Pryor announced that he will move on from the Ohio State program, entering the transfer portal with three years of eligibility. In limited carries over the last two season, Pryor rushed for 147 yards with a score, but just wasn’t nearly as explosive as he was prior to his injury.
