One of the top prospects in the state of Texas is Omari Abor. The five-star edge comes out of Duncanville High School and is being recruited by some of the top schools in the country.
Ohio State and Oklahoma seem to be the favorites for Abor. Both got official visits during the month of June, along with Alabama and LSU. Texas has been playing from behind for quite a while but will have an opportunity to get back in the race.
According to Mike Roach of Horns247, Abor will be in Austin on July 30. Texas is hosting a BBQ/swimming event, which will include some of the best in-state prospects. Abor just adds to the impressive list.

On the 247Sports composite, Abor ranks as the No. 23 player in the country and the No. 5 defensive linemen. Within the state of Texas, he comes in as the No. 6 prospect.
Being able to get the five-star on campus is a sign of progress. Even if Texas is dead in the water, Sarkisian getting personal face-to-face time can be nothing but a positive.
Playing from behind for such an elite in-state prospect is nothing new for Longhorn fans. Hopefully, Abor can be different than the past, with Texas falling on their face flat.
