The first positive COVID case was identified at the University of Texas campus on March 13, 2020.
Campus shut down and the spring football season for the Texas Longhorns was over before it began.
So, like the rest of his teammates, freshman wide receiver Troy Omeire went back home, two and half hours east to Houston for Omeire, to his mother’s house.
Omeire is, of course, the talented four-star wide receiver prospect from Austin High School in Sugar Land, just southwest of Houston.
Even though they lived in the same home, Omeire communicated with his mother, Adaobi Turner, only through Facetime through the first several weeks of the pandemic.
