Omari Abor

Good height and looks long but frame has not yet been verified. May not be quite as large as listed sizes have suggested, but is not undersized. Experience in a three-point stance and standing on the edge, though much more often the former as a junior and senior. Flashes impressive pursuit ability with playmaking closing speed. Consistently shows chase-down athleticism and will walk you down from the back side if left unblocked. Natural pass rusher with impressive edge-bending athleticism and the flexibility to get under tackles and run the arc. Fluidity and bend noticeably improved from sophomore to junior year. Instincts and feel for rushing the passer are obvious. Has shown some inside counter nuance. Faced outstanding competition in practice and games. Athletic background includes basketball and track and field earlier in high school. Flashed stack-and-shed strength and disengaging ability more as a junior than a senior. Got enveloped at times by a couple of large tackles as a senior. Get-off burst is good but snap anticipation comes and goes. Displayed a white-hot motor through junior season, but questions about consistency of effort arose in senior season. Makes a ton of plays but can get better in tackling technique. Looks more like a true edge than an edge/D-line hybrid, but could possibly fill all roles depending on scheme. When locked in, provides elite playmaking impact, especially as a pass rusher. Looked like one of the nation's top defensive prospects in the 2022 class through junior year, but good-not-great senior year caused some hesitancy. Nevertheless, still projects as a high-major impact player with the long-term potential to reach the high rounds of the NFL Draft.
