Sophomore Brendon White warmed up with the first-team defense at safety this morning and appears set to start alongside Jordan Fuller.
In eight games this season, Pryor has 29 tackles, an interception and five pass deflections. Though his experience will be missed, White is fully capable of performing in his absence. A former 4-star athlete and the No. 2 prospect from the state of Ohio, White himself has collected 18 tackles (2.0 for loss) in five games in 2018.
Ohio State (8-1, 5-1 Big Ten) needs to have a strong showing today in order to remain in contention for the College Football Playoff.
