America’s top-rated high school quarterback Terrelle Pryor is headed to Ohio State. The two-sport star at Jeannette (Pa.) High School made his decision in a nationally televised press conference just moments ago. ESPN U carried the decision live and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has details about the decision.

Pryor had delayed making his decision on national signing day, saying he needed more time to make his pick. Each of the four schools under consideration — Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and Oregon — would have been a good fit. But by heading to Ohio State, Pryor will play for a team that returns 20 starters and has an established quarterback. It will give him time to grow and eventually take over a team that will be in contention for the national title for several years to come.

Over the past few months, I’ve enjoyed chronicling Pryor’s accomplishments on both the football field and basketball court. I’ll always be connected to Jeannette through my father’s family, and for that reason I’m glad to this tremendous athlete has given the city some attention on the national stage.
