Pryor to announce pick today
Wednesday, March 19, 2008

The Terrelle Pryor recruiting saga likely will come to an end today.

Pryor, the star quarterback at Jeannette High School, will announce his college decision at noon at the school's auditorium.

Pryor led Jeannette to the PIAA Class AA basketball championship Saturday at Penn State and said after the game that he had narrowed his college choices to two. But he wouldn't identify which two. Sources said yesterday that the final two are Ohio State and Michigan.

Pryor scheduled a news conference in early February to announce his college choice among Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and Oregon. But he then decided to delay his decision. The day of the news conference, he said Ohio State was his top pick, but his father, Craig, convinced him to take a more serious look at Penn State.

Pryor had said he probably would make an official visit to Penn State, but he never did. He also said he might visit Oregon but never did.

After Saturday's basketball championship, Pryor was asked about Penn State and said the school was "too country" for him. Many believe Ohio State is his top choice, but sources say Michigan believes it still is in the running.
