COLUMBUS, Ohio — Terrelle Pryor, the highly regarded prep quarterback from Jeannette, Pa, was expected to announce his college choice during a noon news conference on Wednesday.
 
Pryor, a 6-foot-6 senior, has made official visits to Ohio State and Michigan. He has also expressed interest in Penn State and Oregon.
 
10TV Sports on Tuesday learned that Ohio State was among his final two choices.


Pryor is the only player in Pennsylvania high school football to both run and pass for more than 4,000 yards in his career.
 
Pryor, who was considered the No. 1 overall prospect in the nation by rivals.com, has been compared to former University of Texas and current Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young.
 
A few weeks ago, Pryor sat in the second row and watched the Buckeyes play No. 11 Wisconsin at Value City Arena.
 
Ohio State's student section chanted, "We want Pryor" and "Terr-elle Pry-or" as he left his seat at halftime, walking to a nearby room where he was joined by Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel.
 
Ohio State did not recruit a quarterback in the class announced earlier this month. Todd Boeckman is entering his senior season.  The Buckeyes also have backups Antonio Henton and Joe Bauserman.
 
10TV Sports will be in Jeannette, Pa. on Tuesday for the news conference.
