While Pryor might have been the best player in the nation last year, he isn't at the top of this list. He will be a backup to Todd Boeckman, but look for the Buckeyes to be able to use Pryor the same way the Gators used Tim Tebow in their title run.

OSU backup QBs - Henton and Bauserman
Florida's Backup to Leak - nobody. I mean nooobody.
OSU Running Backs - C Wells, M Wells, Saine, Herron, ....
Fla Top Running Backs - DeShawn Wynn (who never gained more than 700 yards in his career).
Sounds like identical circumstances to me. |

Found this in an article about Russell Sheppard from our good 'ol friend Tool-er-Tom Luginbill.
ESPN - Shepard out to prove he belongs at quarterback - Insider

Shepard is much further along as a passer than Terrelle Pryor was at this stage, and Shepard is more explosive.

Well, TP's no longer a recruit, so they have to manufacture a new one.

Arguments aside, he says that as though it's an accomplishment, knowing most will just absorb and regurgitate it as gold. Jordan Hall may be further along as a blocker than Sam McGuffie was at this stage, but that's not a ringing endorsement either. Pryor made large strides after his junior season as a passer.
One pretty dramatic difference, Shepherd is the size of a high school CB. Pryor is the size of an SEC senior DE.
