While the running back questions for this upcoming season aren’t going anywhere soon, the class of 2021 found its answer.
Four-start running back Evan Pryor, from Williams Amos High School in Cornelius, North Carolina, announced via Twitter on Monday that he will become a Buckeye.
Standing at 5-feet-10, 190 pounds, Pryor is currently ranked as the No. 6 back in the county and is Ohio State’s ninth top-100 ranked player for the class of 2021 according to 247Sports.
Last year as a junior, Pryor ran 164 times for 1,130 yards and 11 rushing touchdowns. He additionally caught the ball 38 times for 646 yards and eight more touchdowns.
Pryor additionally held offers from LSU, Georgia, USC, Penn State among others, including in-state North Carolina who made a late charge at the touted back’s services.
He is now the third player to commit to the Buckeyes in the last 24 hours (J.K. Johnson & Davonta Smith).
The coronavirus has been working hard lately, but Ohio State’s coaches and brand work a little bit harder.
Remember those questions about how/if Ryan Day and staff could recruit? Well, this 2021 class can officially put those questions to shame.
