After experiencing his first college football regular season, Ohio State defensive end Omari Abor shed his black stripe on Wednesday.
Abor seldom saw the field during the 2022 season while dealing with a knee injury for much of the campaign. His lone appearance came in Ohio State’s 45-12 victory over Arkansas State on Sept. 10, in which he played nine snaps and did not register a statistic.
Abor arrived in Columbus in June as a four-star prospect out of Duncanville, Texas. According to 247Sports’ composite score, Abor ranked as the No. 6 defensive end and No. 63 overall recruit in the 2022 class. He was a finalist for the Maxwell Football Club Defensive High School National Player of the Year as a senior and aided Duncanville to a 13-2 record.
Having played in only one game, Abor is in line to redshirt this season.
