Draft Profile: Bio
Evan Pryor from William Amos Hough High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Pryor joined Ohio State.

In 2021 as a freshman Pryor saw action in 4 games for the Buckeyes as he ran for only 98 yards on 21 attempts for 4.7 yards per carry, with one TD, with no fumbles. As a receiver he made only 2 receptions for 8 yards.

As a sophomore in 2023 he played 4 games. and rushed for only 49 yards on 19 carries for only 2.6 ypc, with no TDs, with no fumbles. In the passing game he pulled in only one reception for 2 yards.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • He’s a quality receiver with soft hands, and Pryor shows a good feel for catching and transitioning upfield in the screen game.
  • His initial burst is excellent, and he’s capable of running out of a traditional setup or taking the ball lined up next to a quarterback in shotgun.
  • Once he plants his foot, he’s explosive moving upfield, and his 0-to-60 acceleration is enough to catch defenses off-guard.
  • He’s not the kind of guy who will define an offense as a runner but can be a star on the ground running behind a zone scheme.
  • Pryor does a nice job with recognition as a pass protector and gives good effort.
  • Pryor might be able to contribute as a runner with some consistency if used on outside zone runs, but he is more likely a complementary back who, if used properly
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Pryor is on the small side and not a classic workhorse back. Teams should be hesitant to give him a big workload, at least as a rookie.
  • Lacks size to be a true power back, will not move piles at the next level.
  • Pryor doesn’t have a lot of natural power and won’t break many tackles; he’s much better on the outside than on the inside.

*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.
