Five-Star Cornerback Kobe Black Visiting LSU

Brian Kelly will host five-star cornerback Kobe Black for a visit this weekend with LSU bringing in a number of the top 2024 prospects from around the country.

Black, a consensus five-star prospect, headlines the deep list. The Waco, Tex. native will be down in the Bayou State alongside several fellow Lone Star State recruits ranging from four-star running back Caden Durham to elite defensive back Ka’Davion Dotson.

For Black, he’s in the midst of a recruiting tear with Texas, Oklahoma, and Alabama, among others, coming in hot. For the Tigers to get the elite prospect to town is a massive win.

At 6-foot-1, 190-pounds, Black has begun filling out his frame ahead of what many expect to be a dominant senior campaign. With prototypical corner size and excellent length, it’s a matter of continuing to add mass before the next level.

Who else will accompany Black this weekend? Here are a pair of Texas prospects set to join him in Baton Rouge:

Ka’Davion “KD” Dotson - Cornerback (4-star) - 2024

Kelly’s staff has begun logging some serious hours in the 2024 class, specifically in both Louisiana and Texas. When it comes to the Lone Star State, the Tigers have been putting in work at Duncanville High, the state’s powerhouse program.

LSU will host top cornerback Ka’Davion Dotson for a visit to Baton Rouge this weekend alongside one of his teammates, Caden Durham.

Dotson is fresh off a dominant junior campaign that resulted in a state championship for his squad. The 4-star cornerback propelled his team to another miraculous season which saw recruitment take that next step.

Along with LSU, Dotson is being heavily pursued by in-state schools as well, specifically TCU, where he’s also dropped in for a visit.

With an offer list that has already reached 20+, LSU will have their work cut out for them, but getting the electrifying corner on campus and continuing to dip into the Duncanville pipeline is a massive win for this program.

Caden Durham - Running Back - 2024 (4-star)

This is a big one. For LSU to get the dynamic running to Baton Rouge several times proves a significant level of interest by both parties. The 4-star Duncanville (Tex.) back is beginning to see his recruitment blow up recently with LSU getting in on the action. Durham is also teammates with 5-star EDGE Colin Simmons out in Texas. Could the two be a package deal?

Durham, who just completed a junior campaign that ended with a state championship, is a high-priority target for LSU who thoroughly enjoyed his time in Death Valley last fall. Accompanied by a number of the top players in the South, Durham had nothing but positive things to say after the visit.

Another major factor is Durham’s success in track and field. A speedster who is beginning to pick up offers, LSU recently dished out a scholarship as the dual-sport athlete continues shining.
