Report: Ohio State Buckeyes DE Omari Abor to Enter Transfer Portal
Abor, who was a four-star commit for the Buckeyes in the 2022 class out of Duncanville, Texas, was limited by injuries during his time in Columbus. He missed most of 2022, playing just a few snaps in the second game of the season against Arkansas State before sitting out the rest of the regular season due to a knee injury. He then suffered an undisclosed injury prior to the 2023 campaign that required surgery.
This season, Abor has posted two total tackles, as one apiece came in the wins over Purdue and Western Kentucky.
Abor shed his black stripe prior to Ohio State’s loss in the College Football Playoff to Georgia last season. This signaled that he could have a key role in 2023, but that never came to fruition.
Still, he received high praise for his talent.
“This guy had a minor setback, but he’s been working hard every day,” director of player development C.J. Barnett said in Dec. 2022. “He’s proven himself, that he’s got a little dog in him.”
While it’s anyone’s guess where Abor could end up, it certainly doesn’t hurt to look at his recruiting visits from 2021 and 2022 to see where some potential interest might lie.
Along with an OV to Ohio State, Abor made official stops at Oklahoma, Alabama and LSU while making two unofficial visits to Texas A&M.
Texas, Ohio State, Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M ended up being his top five in Aug. 2021.
