The Oregon Ducks put the final stamp on an elite 2024 recruiting class on Thursday night with the addition of four-star defensive lineman Jericho Johnson.
However, another prospect they were pursuing for a future class might have just become available in the present.
On Monday morning, four-star cornerback Kevyn Humes, the No. 29 CB in the 2025 class, announced he will reclassify to 2024 and sign with a team this offseason. Humes is from Baltimore, Maryland, and he goes to the same high school as Oregon signee Ify Obidegwu.

Just over a month ago, when Humes announced his top five schools, he had the Ducks as one of the finalists, along with Penn State, Notre Dame, Georgia and Alabama.
The Ducks signed 25 players in the 2024 class, which ranks fifth in the nation. They are also looking to get a commitment from four-star wide receiver Gatlin Bair, who plans to sign during the signing period in February. We will see if they decide to pursue Humes now that he is available earlier than expected.
