2024 5-star cornerback Kobe Black, who the Aggies remain in contention for, has announced his upcoming commitment date.
The recruiting journey for 2024 five-star cornerback Kobe Black has been a back-and-forth affair between the Texas Longhorns and the LSU Tigers. Still, after the firing of Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher on Nov. 12, the Aggies have suddenly become an intriguing candidate.
With new A&M head coach Mike Elko officially taking over as of Monday afternoon, a new era of Aggie Football is in store. Elko has already contacted several key 2024 recruits and prospects, which could have included Kobe Black.
Black’s top 5 program list includes Oklahoma State, Oregon, Texas, LSU, and Texas A&M. While Texas Still holds a considerable advantage, mainly due to their success in 2023 coupled with their move to the SEC next season, Elko’s defensive background could make a last-minute impact as he continues to share his vision for the future of the program.
On Wednesday, it was revealed that Black will announce his commitment on Wednesday, Dec. 13, and due to the late announcement, I wouldn’t be surprised if the initial team he picks is the program he’ll play for for the foreseeable future, however, in the age of the transfer portal, nothing is set in stone.

The latest as the signing period looms.
There are 10 uncommitted players in the top 150 of the 247Sports ranking of the best recruits in the nation. And with spots at a premium, there should be plenty of movement in the next few weeks.
Especially with a flurry of official visits planned by a number of top players, it is likely that every player on this list will be off the board and fully committed within the next couple of weeks.
All data comes from the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Players can officially sign their National Letter of Intent on Dec. 20 in the early signing period. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, expect every player on this list to be committed by then.

The Longhorns aren’t far behind as they sit at No. 11 in the rankings.
If the Tigers want to move up in the rankings, they have a five-star player on their recruiting board that could make a big difference. LSU is still in contention for five-star cornerback [autotag]Kobe Black[/autotag] from Waco, Texas. His commitment could help the Tigers jump up a few spots.

Texas A&M has made the the final list for standout 2024 5-star cornerback Kobe Black, who has yet to announced a commitment date
Texas A&M’s 2024 recruiting class is already filled with talent at nearly every position, and while plenty of uncommitted prospects remain in the cycle, Jimbo Fisher and his staff have yet to land a cornerback amid their 18 verbal commits. Still, good news concerning one of the class’s most talented defensive back prospects could be on the horizon.
This week, 2024, five-star cornerback Kobe Black who has been on the Aggies’ radar since offering him in April of 2022, has released his final Top 5 program list, including Baylor, LSU, Ohio State, Texas, and Texas A&M.
Since receiving his offer, Black has taken five unofficial visits to College Station, with his most recent trek during the Aggies’ annual recruiting pool party on July 29. According to 247Sports Composite, Black is currently positioned as the 24th-ranked in the class, the 3rd-ranked cornerback prospect, and the 6th-ranked player in Texas.
Standing at 6-0, and 190 lbs, Black is considered the “prototypical” defensive back from a size perspective, in addition to his speed, athleticism, and versatility in the backfield. A two-way player at Connally High School in Waco, Texas, Black performed at cornerback, running back, and wide receiver during his 2022 junior season, accumulating the following stat line:
Texas A&M has remained in a heated battle with Texas regarding several 2024 prospects. After the Longhorns landed the coveted five-star Edge Colin Simmons on Thursday, Kobe Black’s impending decision could decide who will reign supreme in the state of Texas, at least from a recruiting standpoint.
