"FSU is my favorite,” Pryor said. “I have liked them since I was little. They have always been my team. If Bobby Bowden leaves it wouldn't bother me. If I go there and Jimbo (Fisher) is there that would be great. We are close and talk every week. I like all the coaches and I have been there five times. FSU feels like home. I just have good feeling when I go there.

"I would say LSU is second right now. … They have a nice campus and everything at LSU is five-star. It's just a great place."

The other teams in Pryor’s top five are Georgia, Auburn and Clemson.
