Ohio State’s prototype dual-threat QB with record-breaking juice
In the 2010 season, Pryor powered Ohio State with 2,772 passing yards, 27 passing touchdowns, and 754 rushing yards, finishing his Buckeye career with 6,177 passing yards, 57 passing TDs, and 2,164 rushing yards, the most by an Ohio State quarterback[7][8]. His calling card was rare quarterback size-speed explosiveness: defenses had to respect both the deep ball and the scramble, and he routinely turned broken plays into chunk gains[6][7]. The fit question? He was a high-ceiling, high-variance talent—electric in space, but more of a dynamic playmaker than a polished pocket surgeon.
