LANCASTER, Texas — With every reception and touchdown scored throughout his high school—all 79 and 20, respectively—Omar Manning maintained the same philosophy.
Family first.
"Everything I do," he said, "I do it for my family."
Ask Manning, a TCU signee from Lancaster High School about family, and it all starts with the person he considers the strongest person he knows—his mother, Tracey Manning.
A particular scene with his mother recently caught the attention of a few onlookers. There was Manning sitting with his mother holding a conversation just before his U.S. Army All-American jersey ceremony presentation in September.
