Black has been a long time target for Texas Tech initially picking up his offer from the previous coaching staff way back in June 2018.

"Coach (Kerry) Cooks says he likes my length, my physicality, my aggressiveness and that I'm a ball hawk. He says I'm at the top of his list. "
— Korie Black

New staff: "I've been talking to coach Cooks a lot, we've been texting a lot. I haven't really had the chance to call him yet because I've been busy but I'm looking forward to calling him and talking to him about my recruitment."

TTU offer: "Yes sir it's big most definitely because it's in-state and I don't have to travel very far so that's always a plus."

Visit plans: "I don't have any official visits set yet but yes I'm looking forward to going on an official to Texas Tech."

Other schools: Other than Texas Tech, Korie says the schools that are standing out the most right now are Oklahoma State and Baylor.

Rivals Camp: Going up against some of the best receivers in the state, Black says his mentality coming in was to "lock 'em up."
