Texas Football: 3 elite 2022 targets getting away from Steve Sarkisian

2022 prospects getting away from Sark No. 1: Omari Abor

A really important target that could play in the front seven for the Longhorns and new defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski that could be getting away from this staff of late is the elite five-star 6-foot-4 and 240 pound Duncanville strong-side defensive end Omari Abor. This product hailing out of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is one of the top defensive ends in this recruiting cycle, and he’s an in-state target for Sark and the Longhorns.

But a trio of 247Sports Crystal Ball Predictions are favoring the commitment of Abor to go to head coach Lincoln Riley and the rival Sooners over Texas and the rest of the field. But the good news there is that the three expert Crystal Ball Predictions for Abor that are trending to Oklahoma aren’t all that confident on the 247Sports scale.

And the Rivals FutureCast don’t have any conclusive picks as of the afternoon of March 27 from their analysts and publishers.

Texas and Oklahoma are two of 25 schools that have offered Abor. Some of the other notable schools on his offer sheet include the Crimson Tide, LSU, Ohio State, Auburn, Florida State Seminoles, Georgia, Michigan Wolverines, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Oklahoma State, Stanford Cardinal, TCU, Texas A&M, USC, and the Washington Huskies.

Moreover, Abor ranks as the nation’s No. 37 2022 high school prospect, No. 2 strong-side defensive end, and No. 7 prospect out of Texas (247Sports Composite). And the Top247 ranks him as the nation’s No. 12 high school prospect, No. 2 strong-side defensive end, and No. 3 prospect out of Texas.

Abor does have a visit scheduled with the Buckeyes for June 4, but that is it as of March 27. We’ll see what Texas can do to stay in the running to land Abor.
