Ohio State football will not have as much depth at running back as it expected to have heading into 2022.

Redshirt freshman Evan Pryor is expected to miss the season with a season-ending knee injury.

Last season, Pryor scored his first career touchdown against Akron and averaged 4.7 yards per rush, recording 98 rushing yards on 21 carries across four games.
