2024 Waco (Tex.) Connally defensive back <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/kobe-black-75518/">Kobe Black</a> will visit <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/lsu-tigers/">LSU</a> twice in the coming months, he told <a href="https://twitter.com/Hayesfawcett3/status/1666925006712913922">On3’s Hayes Fawcett</a> on <a href="https://www.on3.com/news/five-star-cb-kobe-black-locks-in-visits/">Thursday</a>. The five-star prospect will be on campus unofficially July 28 before taking an official visit for the Grambling State game on Sept. 9.



The Tigers join the likes of Alabama, Oregon, Ohio State, Texas and Texas A&M that’ll host him between the summer and fall.



This spring, Black was on LSU’s campus for an unofficial visit and left impressed.



“LSU was good! I like how the coaches made me feel like I’m their top priority and just felt nothing but love,” <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/lsu-tigers/news/recruits-sound-off-on-lsu-latest-junior-day/">Black told On3</a>. “They really don’t have two set corners. They rotate a lot. I like that because it’s always good to get a little time in as a freshman so you don’t have to go out there and just play without playing a lot.”



Black ranks as the No. 18 player according to the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/industry-player/football/2024/">On3 Industry Ranking</a>, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also tabs in as the No. 2 cornerback and the No. 4 player in the state of Texas.

<h2 id="h-kobe-black-scouting-summary">Kobe Black Scouting Summary</h2>



“Big-bodied defensive back with coverage instincts and ball skills. More filled out than most of his highly-rated peers at the position. Checked in at 6-foot-1 and around 185 pounds prior to his senior season. Has plus length for the position with a wing-span over 6-foot-7. Displays strong change of direction in the camp setting, highlighted by a 4.15 second short shuttle at Under Armour’s Dallas camp. Works as an outside corner on Friday nights. Instinctive in coverage. Reads and jumps routes.”



“Technically sound in coverage relative to this stage. Smooth in his movements. Has the length, size and strength to reroute receivers at the line. Projects as a plus run defender. Shows ball skills and made plays on the ball as a junior with 9 pass breakups and 2 interceptions. Also lined up at wide receiver for Waco Connally where he showed playmaking skills and overall coordination. Tracks the football over his shoulder and comes down with high-point grabs in traffic. Not an overly twitchy athlete relative to most high-end cornerback prospects. Quicker than fast. Could also project at safety long-term given his strengths and physical skill set. Also plays basketball and runs track. Very young for the cycle with a late June birthday.”
