Texas added the 21st member to its 2024 recruiting class on Wednesday.
Four-star defensive back Kobe Black has announced his commitment to Texas. He becomes the second-highest rated player on the defensive side of the ball in Texas’ 2024 class, trailing only five-star edge Colin Simmons.
Black is rated the No. 4 cornerback in the country and the No. 10 overall recruit in the state of Texas, according to On3 Sports. The Longhorns beat out Texas A&M, Oregon, LSU and others for his services.
Texas has been considered the favorite in Black’s recruitment for several months now. Finally securing a commitment from one of the top defensive backs in the 2024 cycle at a position of need is a major win for Steve Sarkisian’s staff.
