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 has been Brendan Sorsby's favorite target this season. and the Ohio State transfer acquired a much better opportunity with Cincinnati. Considering his synergy with Sorsby, Pryor will probably stick around unless Sorsby looks to join up with another program.

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.

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.

Impact Pryor's opportunities are limited behind Corey Kiner, but he tends to make the most of it when called upon. He extended the Bearcats' lead un the fourth quarter with an outstanding 65-yard touchdown, representing most of his final total.
SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
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.
