Pryor gets OK to return to Ohio State with Browns

Former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor will be allowed back on Ohio State’s campus when the Cleveland Browns conduct a scrimmage in August in Ohio Stadium.

Pryor received a five-year campus ban from the university for his part in the scandal that cost former coach Jim Tressel his job in 2011 and resulted in a bowl ban, lost scholarships and vacated wins.

If Pryor is still with the Browns when the team visits Columbus on Aug. 7, “his participation should be identical to that of all team members, with no special accommodations provided to him due to his Ohio State affiliation,” a school spokesman said Wednesday, according to ESPN.com.

Pryor left Ohio State after his junior season and was picked by the Oakland Raiders in the NFL supplemental draft. Since then, he has bounced around the NFL trying to make it as a quarterback.

When Pryor was recently cut by the Cincinnati Bengals, he decided to try to stay in the NFL as a wide receiver and was claimed by the Browns on waivers.

“It is our understanding that there is no issue, but we are clarifying,” Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith told The Columbus Dispatch. “The intent (of the ban) we believe was (to keep him from) working out (at Ohio State), not performing through a rental arrangement with an NFL team.”
