95 yards at Kansas Pryor notched six rushes for 90 yards and reeled in 1 of 2 targets for five yards during Saturday's 37-34 win against Kansas.

Impact Pryor had exactly six carries in his third consecutive game, but this time he gained 90 yards thanks in part to a 46-yard scamper. He's looked good behind Tawee Walker, but his value still remains fairly low since he doesn't have a huge role in the Bearcats' offense.

Five carries for 29 yards Pryor (lower body) posted five carries for 29 yards and caught 1 of 2 targets for five yards during Thursday's 20-17 defeat versus Nebraska.

Impact Pryor logged Cincinnati's second-most carries, behind Tawee Walker. They suggest that Pryor is Cincinnati's second-choice running back, though there is at least a slight possibility that his previous lower-body injury prevented him from maximizing carries. Obviously, Pryor's future number of rushing attempts will determine his standing among Cincinnati running backs, and he got off to a great start Thursday despite being in one of the few Power Conference teams to begin their 2025 season against another P4 side.

Co-starter for Week 1 Pryor is listed as a co-starter for the Bearcats' upcoming game Thursday against Nebraska, Neil Meyer of The Front Office News reports.

Impact For the 2025 Bearcats' opener, Pryor and Tawee Walker are listed as co-starters for their running back position. The former earned a high nod after his 2024 season, in which he easily logged career highs for every category, surpassing 500 all-purpose yards and five touchdowns that year.

Gets start in spring game Pryor got the start at tailback at Cincinnati's spring game, per The Enquirer.

Impact Pryor reportedly split reps with Wisconsin transfer Tawee Walker, but he notably got the start.

Finds end zone in loss Pryor notched six rushes for 31 yards and one touchdown and hauled in 3 of 4 targets for negative one yard during Saturday's 34-17 loss against Iowa State.

Impact Pryor has spent most of the season behind Corey Kiner on the depth chart, but the Ohio State transfer is still making a solid contribution. He's logged 546 yards of total offense and seven touchdowns for the year, and Pryor is a shoo-in to earn the starting job next season if he decides to stick around.

Impact Pryor took a back seat to Corey Kiner in his usual backup role, and although he managed a rushing touchdown, hie had limited success in the defeat. Pryor has 352 yards and five touchdowns on the year, and he may decide to stick around next year after Corey Kiner's departure. The Ohio State transfer would be a likely starter in most programs, so a re-entry into the portal is also possible.

Looks good to go Pryor (hamstring) is dressed and expected to be available for Saturday's game at UCF, Keegan Nickoson of BearcatJournal.com reports.

Impact Pryor left the Texas Tech game before the bye week with a hamstring injury, but it seems the injury wasn't as severe as initially expected, meaning the running back will be able to add depth in the backfield behind Corey Kiner. Pryor has 23 carries for 239 yards and three touchdowns across five appearances in 2024.

Tops century mark in debut Pryor had four carries for 105 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-20 victory versus Towson.

Impact After failing to catch on at Ohio State, Pryor arrived in Cincinnati to back up Corey Kiner. Interestingly, Pryor actually made a bigger impact than Kiner in the decisive win, although it makes sense that Kiner would fade as the lead widened. Kiner is arguably the Bearcats' best offensive weapon, but Pryor's performance confirms that he will have ample support behind him.
