Omari Abor entering transfer portal after one season at SMU
SMU defensive end Omari Abor is entering the NCAA Transfer Portal, he told On3’s Hayes Fawcett on Sunday. Abor spent just one season on the Hilltop.
This season, Abor totaled two tackles in just two games playing on a deep SMU defensive line.
Omari Abor totaled just two tackles, including a tackle for loss, in his five appearances last year at Ohio State. He took a redshirt year in 2022 and will have two years of eligibility remaining. He was the No. 79 overall recruit in the 2022 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

The college football transfer portal is scheduled to be open for 30 days during the 2024-25 academic year.

According to the NCAA, the portal will open for business Monday, Dec. 9, 2024, and close on Dec. 28.
The spring window in April remains. The portal will only be 10 days, lasting from April 16, 2025, and shutting down on April 25, 2025. The transfer portal will open for 30 days whenever a head coach leaves their program, allowing athletes to leave and decide on their future, according to NCAA guidelines.

With the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff, the postseason will be longer. Athletes on teams that compete in the College Football Playoff and later bowl game will be allowed to enter an additional five-day transfer portal window in January after the portal closes.
More than 2,800 FBS scholarship players entered their names into the NCAA’s transfer database during the 2023-24 school year. Removing those who withdrew or went pro, the final total sat at 2,707 transfers — meaning that roughly 25% of all FBS scholarship players hit free agency in one year.
The transfer portal wire provides a real-time feed of player activity, including basic player profile information, transfer portal ranking and original On3 Industry recruiting ranking, as well as NIL valuation (name, image and likeness).
The On3 Transfer Portal Instagram account and Twitter account are excellent resources to stay up to date with the latest moves.
