ZippyDoo Posted 21 hours ago Report Posted 21 hours ago so i did a little research on this guy... (mind you i am not nearly an expert like CAT just played around google) and i am not quite as eager to hand him and keys to the car just yet... he was highly recruited out of high school.. 2022 his freshman year was cut short due to a serious near injury 2023 he played in five games 1 solo tackle which was for a 2 yard loss against western kentucky and he had an assisted tackle against purdue. no other stats. according to what i read Ryan Day stated that Abor had an "undisclosed injury" that he could not into details about but he would not return for several months. Abor then entered the portal which he admittedly said he regretted, he chased the money. and he went to SMU. 2024 Abor went to SMU played in 2 games and had 2 assisted tackles. apparently he showed up heavy and slow and it made it difficult to play. that is why he played 2 games abor left after the 24 season entered the portal DID NOT PLAY IN 2025 and remained in the portal until now... 1 Quote

There has to be a lot of baggage to end up at Akron. Hopefully he can get going now Quote

Staying in the portal for an entire year and then ending up at Akron where he is assuredly not getting any NIL money is an insane move. But let's hope it works out for us! Quote

All this sounds about right from what I can gather. One SMU insider claimed Abor “lost his explosiveness and was buried on the depth chart,” and also described him as “troubled.” Whether the SMU insider is correct or not, the bigger point still makes sense: we had three scholarships available, so why not take a flyer on a guy who, at one point, was more physically gifted than anyone currently on our defensive line? If it doesn’t work out, the staff can send him on his way. Low risk, high reward. Edited 1 hour ago by catdaddyp Quote
