TP playing time: It certainly changes TP playing time. He is assured to be the one called on 80% of the time when needing a trick play from the QB - ala Ted Ginn in the Outback Bowl. We all know that Tressel would have been used him, but he would have held back so that he can use his senior ranking QB (Henton) first. Tressel is all about upperclassmen coming in first - if plausible and possible.

Disagree. With Henton apparently falling to #3, his playing time in all likelihood would have been limited to garbage time. As for trick plays, I highly doubt JT would have turned to Antonio when he has a gifted player like TP on the sideline who is actually going to have offensive packages designed specifically to get him on the filed. Seniority doesn't really apply here. We're not talking about an upperclassman QB; Henton was a (RS) Sophomore to be. Other than maybe more garbage time snaps, I don't think Henton's departure has very much effect on how much Pryor will see the field in '08.

Scroll down and go to pic #41. I'm pretty sure that's Boeckman standing next to Pryor.

Per this article, Stars come out for Super 7 - NCAA Football - Yahoo! Sports Boekman was in attendance.


It says:
THE COLLEGE STARS
The college players on hand were Rhett Bomar from San Houston State, Josh Freeman from Kansas State, Willie Tuitama from Arizona, Rudy Carpenter from Arizona State, Jake Locker from Washington, Todd Boeckman from Ohio State and Jimmy Clausen from Notre Dame.
Those fine players demonstrated how it is supposed to look lining up behind center on Saturdays in the fall. Each and every one of them passed the eyeball test.

He's in several of the other photos, as well.

PG's Male Athlete of 2007-08: Terrelle Pryor
One of greatest two-sport athletes in state's history

Jeannette's Terrelle Pryor

You could talk about the more than 8,000 career yards of offense he had in football and his national player of the year awards. Or you could talk about his 2,000-plus points in basketball and his unforgettable WPIAL championship game performance of 39 points, 24 rebounds and 10 blocked shots.

But maybe the thing that ultimately defined Terrelle Pryor and his days at Jeannette High School is one word. Win.

One of the greatest two-sport athletes in the history of Pennsylvania, Pryor won with uncommon regularity. When he graduated earlier this month, the name on the diploma should've been Terrwin Pryor.

Terrelle Pryor

Pryor (6 feet 6, 235 pounds) was a four-year starter in football and basketball. Jeannette's record in those sports during that time was 143-25, an .851 winning percentage. He was 45-7 in football and 98-18 in basketball. He won two WPIAL football titles and one PIAA football title. In basketball, he won one WPIAL and one PIAA title.

He capped off his career in grand fashion as a senior, leading Jeannette to WPIAL and PIAA titles in both football and basketball, and the Jayhawks' record in those two sports was 41-5 (.891 percentage). Jeannette became only the third school in state history to win PIAA football and basketball titles in the same year.

For his individual and team accomplishments, Pryor is the Post-Gazette High School Male Athlete of the Year for the 2007-08 school year. The award takes into consideration all athletes in the WPIAL and City League, and it's the second year in a row Pryor has won the award. He was a quarterback-defensive back in football and a guard-forward in basketball. Pryor also was selected the national athlete of the year by Sports Illustrated and maxpreps.com.

"All I cared about was winning," Pryor said. "The winning means more than any of the individual things I got."

Jeannette went 16-0 in football during Pryor's senior year. He had 3,788 yards running and passing, believed to be a WPIAL single-season record. He rushed for 1,899 yards on 143 attempts (13.3 average) and completed 87 of 130 for 1,889 yards. He accounted for 58 touchdowns -- 33 rushing, one on a reception, one on an interception and 23 passing. He helped Jeannette set a state record for scoring with 860 points.

He was the first player in Pennsylvania history to rush and pass for more than 4,000 career yards -- 4,238 rushing and 4,340 passing. In basketball, he averaged 21.9 points a game and finished his career with 2,285 career points, eighth-best in WPIAL history.

"I think he was misunderstood by the public in some ways and I think the one thing that people don't understand about him is how hard he works," Reitz said. "A lot of kids have athletic ability, but they don't work at it. He has a tremendous work ethic. He really worked hard in the weight room this summer. He was 235 pounds before he left for Ohio State."
