Dan Lanning Demetrice Martin, and the Oregon Ducks have been on a roll when recruiting cornerbacks since they landed in Eugene. Already in the 2024 recruiting cycle, the Ducks have landed commitments from 4-star CB Ify Obidegwu (No. 122 overall player, No. 11 CB) and flipped 4-star CB Dakoda Fields (No. 83 overall, No. 9 CB) from the USC Trojans back to Oregon.
Now the Ducks are finding themselves in the running for one of the top defensive backs left on the board — 5-star CB Kobe Black.
On Wednesday, Black announced his top five schools, listing the Ducks, Texas Longhorns, Ohio State Buckeyes, LSU Tigers, and Texas A&M Aggies.

Black is rated by 247Sports as the No. 2 CB in the nation, and the No. 26 overall player in the class. He took an unofficial visit to Eugene back in the month of June, and said on social media that he can’t wait to get back for an official visit in the future.

So will the Ducks be able to land another elite defensive back in the class of 2024 and continue to grow in the secondary? We will have to wait and see, but they are at least in the running to do so.
