The most talked about football prospect in recent years is not worrying whether he is going to play in the spread offense of Michigan or the smash mouth style of Ohio State right now. All Terrelle Pryor can think about is his match up with Strawberry Mansion at the Bryce Jordan Center on Saturday. Pryor has surely lived up to the hype so far. Not only is he one of the most highly touted football prospects in recent history, leading his team to a PIAA AA state football title. Pryor has now lead his basketball team to its first PIAA finals birth in the school's history. Contributing another triple double to the tune of 17 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists, along with four blocked shots in the PIAA semi finals over Sharon High School 75-66.
Pryor has been in the eye of the media storm in the months leading up to decision day where every major D1 football school had him on his wish list. He has narrowed his choices to Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Florida and Oregon and is expected to decide once basketball season is over. With all this attention he has been receiving, he has had the where-with-all to put this all in perspective and focus on basketball and Jeanette's first title run in school history. Even though he is not going to play basketball in college. I'm not saying he couldn't play basketball in college he's a tremendous talent and great two sport athlete, but it doesn't seem that any program is going to allow him to take that risk.
His popularity has grown so much that a Terrelle Pryor figurine has been made by a local Pennsylvania man, making him the first high school athlete to have a figure in his likeness.
If you can't make it to the Bryce Jordan Arena at Penn State, you have your last chance to see Pryor on the hardwood as the Jeannette Jayhawks take on the Philadelphia City Champions, Strawberry Mansion for the PIAA State Final on Takkle TV and Penn Atlantic at 2pm on Saturday.
