Draft Profile: Bio
Pryor was a four-star recruit whose Ohio State career was derailed by a major knee injury, then found touches at Cincinnati, running for 522 yards on a healthy 6.9 per carry in 2025.He transferred to Florida for 2026, where he projects as a complementary, change-of-pace back behind Jadan Baugh in two-back looks.
At 5-9 and 195 pounds he is an explosive, receiving-capable back whose burst is real and whose injury history and workload ceiling are the questions.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Explosive change-of-pace burst; 6.9 yards per carry in 2025
- Fresh legs and open-field speed to flip field position
- Veteran experience across three programs
- Fits a passing-down and two-back complementary role
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Extensive injury history, including a major knee injury
- Limited career volume and touches
- Projects as a complementary back, not a workhorse
- Older prospect with tread and durability questions
- Hands and route detail are unrefined for a true receiving back
Scouting Report: Summary
Pryor is an explosive, receiving-capable change-of-pace back who ran for 6.9 yards a carry at Cincinnati in 2025 before transferring to Florida for a complementary role. However, the injury history is extensive, the career volume is limited, and he projects as a complementary piece rather than a workhorse.Overall, Pryor is a burst-and-receiving back whose explosiveness and passing-down value are the draw, with health and workload the limiters. He profiles as a developmental passing-down and change-of-pace back, with the ceiling of a rotational third-down back if he stays healthy and the floor of a depth and special-teams contributor.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank
in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance.
For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.
*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
