Tearing the patellar tendon in his left knee last August was hard on Evan Pryor in multiple ways.
From a football standpoint, it ended Pryor’s 2022 season before it ever began after a promising spring in which he positioned himself to play a role as a change-of-pace back with more receiving ability out of the backfield than TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams. Emotionally, it was difficult for Pryor to have to watch from the sidelines or his apartment while his Ohio State teammates played.
“I'm gonna keep it real with y’all, it was hard,” Pryor said Saturday in his first interview session since returning from injury.
