1. Deommodore Lenoir, 4-star CB (Los Angeles, CA)

If the Oregon Ducks want to improve on defense, earning Deommodore Lenoir’s commitment would be a step in the right direction. The cornerback prospect ranks 66th in the nation, seventh at his position and eighth overall in the state of California, according to 247 Sports. He 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.

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.

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 pledge. He took an unofficial visit to Eugene, Oregon on January 15. The Oregon Ducks coaching staff also visited Lenoir as his home on January 16.

His decision is will be made on February 1. His pledge could boost the Ducks’ into the top 15 recruiting classes.
