Cole Pryor brings speed and depth-piece upside to Texas State’s backfield
In the 2026 season, Texas State’s Cole Pryor has a small sample so far — 3 carries for 10 yards in his first action — but he already looks like a compact, young back with room to grow at 5-foot-9 and 178 pounds. The appeal is the profile: a local San Antonio product with freshman eligibility, a redshirt year already in his development, and enough burst to fit as a change-of-pace runner if his vision and pass protection keep coming along. If you want immediate bell-cow production, he’s not that yet; if you want a low-risk, developmental back with upside, Pryor is worth monitoring.
