Terrelle Pryor

Pryor currently starts at quarterback for Ohio State. Pryor saw limited action in the Buckeye's season opener against Youngstown State. He took more snaps against USC on September 13, 2008, completing 7 of 9 passes for 59 yards, as well as rushing for 40 yards on 11 carries. On September 20, 2008, Pryor threw for four touchdowns (an Ohio State record for a freshman) and one interception in his first career start for Ohio State. Ohio State beat Troy 28-10. On October 4, 2008, Pryor ran for the winning touchdown against Wisconsin on an option play with running back Chris "Beanie" Wells. On October 25, 2008 against Penn State Pryor threw for a career high 226 yards, connecting on 16 of 25 passes. Against Illinois on November 15, 2008, Pryor had his first career 100 yard rushing day running for 110 yards and a touchdown. In the Fiesta Bowl he lined up at receiver and caught his first touchdown pass in college. Pryor led Ohio State to a 8-2 record as a starter in his freshman year; his only losses as a starter were against Penn State and Texas. Before his freshman year began he ran a 4.33 forty in a race against Ray Small and many others. He is currently the fastest Buckeye.

In the first game of the 2009 season, Pryor had "Vick" written beneath his eye in support of NFL quarterback Michael Vick, who had just been released from 18 months in prison. When asked why he supported Vick, he controversially responded "Not everybody’s the perfect person in the world, I mean everyone kills people, murders people, steals from you, steals from me, whatever. I think that people need a second chance, and I’ve always looked up to Mike Vick, and I always will."
