2017 National Signing Day: 10 Biggest Names to Know
9. Deommodore Lenoir, 4-star CB (Los Angeles, CA)
Deommodore Lenoir is a four-star cornerback prospect out of California who all eyes will be as National Signing Day approaches. Lenoir was also a participant in the US Army All-American Bowl on the West team with defensive tackle Jay Tufele. The cornerback prospect ranks 66th overall, seventh at his position and eighth overall in the state of California, according to 247 Sports.
Lenoir is a hard hitter and a ball hawk that looks to bring some of that to an Oregon Ducks team in desperate need of a defensive leader. The four-star cornerback also has potential on special teams as a kick returner.

He decommitted from the Ducks back in November due to their reluctance to fire Mark Helfrich. But since hiring head coach Willie Taggart, it looks like the Ducks are still in good shape to re-earn his commitment. He took an unofficial visit to Eugene, Oregon on January 15.
In January, Lenoir also took visits to Nebraska on the 20th and Mississippi State on the 27th. It seems his top three choices are down Oregon, Nebraska and UCLA. Come National Signing Day, Taggart and other coaching staffs will have their eyes on Lenoir.
His decision is expected to be made on February 1.
