For the past several years, the Oregon Ducks football program has largely recruited its star power on the offensive side of the ball.

But so far in the class of 2017, that hasn't been the case.

Already with four-star defensive end/linebacker Langi Tuifua, U.S. Army All-American defensive tackle Rutger Reitmaier and four-star linebacker Sampson Niu, Oregon was at it again Thursday evening, adding 247Sports four-star cornerback Deommodore Lenoir during his unofficial visit to Eugene.

The 5-foot-11, 190-pound cornerback, out of Bishop Mora Salesian (Los Angeles, California), chose the Ducks over offers from more than 25 other programs, highlighted by Alabama, Florida, LSU, Miami (Fla.), Michigan, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and USC.

Lenoir had hinted that a commitment could be coming earlier this week as he discussed his visit.

"I see myself very close to a decision," he said. "The recruiting process (is) starting to get very stressful."

Lenoir is rated the No. 3 athlete in the country by Rivals, the No. 9 cornerback nationally by 247Sports and the No. 8 cornerback in the country by Scout.

With Lenoir's pledge, Oregon has seven commitments in the class of 2017.

Duck fans follow up! Got us a good one! Congrats bro @Deommo_Lenoir https://t.co/D2Yfa95ha1 — Vernon Adams Jr. (@bigplay_va) June 24, 2016
