DB Isaiah Pryor (transfer to Notre Dame)

Why would he do it now, i.e. not wait until after the season?

Why stay? He could leave and get practice in, in his new defense for ththe remainder of the season. That would be my guess.
But Pryors style of play is from a foregone era. Hes a Archuleta, Lynch, May's type of S, that can hit but is a liability in coverage. Pryor could possibly be a stud as someone's hybrid S/LB. I thought he would excel as Bullet, but maybe not. Best of luck

I don't think it's that he can't excel, rather that the crootin' machine isn't slowing down and he's slipped behind Proctor.

Gotcha. Makes sense, Proctor is going to be special.
But I did think that he fit better as a Bullet, but I guess not

He wasn't even a hitter really either. He's pretty thin for being a safety and I'm surprised by this.

He just lacked awareness and anticipation. As a safety those are the last two things you want to lack.

Sincerely wish him the best but ultimately:

*shrugs*

 

[Taosman]

He got passed by a "super" talent. No shame in that. Good luck young man.

In HS he was known as a hitter.
But yeah, he just wanted a S at the OSU level. But at least he leaves with a degree

Best of luck to Mr. Pryor. Gave it his best but not everything pans out. Wishing him the best of luck wherever he lands.

Ohio State transfer Isaiah Pryor set for second Notre Dame visit

Barring something unexpected, Isaiah Pryor could soon find himself with a new college football home.

Late last month, Pryor’s father confirmed that his son had decided to enter his name into the NCAA transfer database, the first step in what would be a departure from Ohio State. Not long after, the defensive back took a visit to the Notre Dame campus for the USC game.

However, no decision was made as Pryor’s mother was unable to make that trip; a second visit has since been scheduled around the Nov. 2 game against Virginia Tech and, this time around, mom will be in tow.

After that second visit, many assume Pryor will commit to continuing his collegiate playing career with the Fighting Irish.

“They have delivered on everything,” Pryor, speaking to NDInsider.com, said about his interactions with Notre Dame. “So I’m confident with them. I feel like we just have to keep building this relationship. I’m excited to get back up there.”
