Terrelle Pryor Tough Childhood
In an interview, Evan said it had always been him, his two siblings, and his mother. There was a time when the family couldn’t afford to live in a house. They would hop from one hotel to another.
Thomasina would have to pick three or four jobs to raise her three kids. Thomasina was only 16 or 17 when she had her first son, Tyrone. Two years later, Terrelle came along, and four years later, Tamika.
There was also a time when Terrelle and his family would live in their grandmother’s house. His brother Tyrone would pick up fights regularly, leading him to be kicked out of high school.

In his interview, Terrelle heavily complimented his surrogate dad, Teddy Sarniak, who took him under his wing when he was in grade five. He also saved Terrelle from falling into bad habits like selling drugs, which had become a norm in Jeannette.
In 2010, Terrelle was suspended for selling memorabilia. He said he would do it again as he needed the money for his mother and sister, who didn’t have heat in their apartment.
