The Ducks have added another five-star for the 2020 class. With an update to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings, Kansas City (Mo.) Raytown cornerback Dontae Manning has added a fifth star.

In the 247Sports Composite rankings, Manning is the N0. 27 overall prospect and the No. 3 cornerback in the class. With the changes to the composite rankings, Oregon currently ranks with the No. 11 recruiting class in the country and the No. 1 class in the Pac-12 according to the 247Sports Composite Team Recruiting Rankings.

With Manning adding a fifth star in the 247Sports Composite Rankings, the Ducks now have three five-star prospects in the 2020 recruiting class. Manning joins linebackers Noah Sewell and Justin Flowe as the five-star prospects in Oregon's 2020 class.

In the internet recruiting era (since 2001), the Ducks have signed 12 five-star prospects, four of those will be on the roster in the 2020 season. Oregon signed defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux in 2019 and Thibodeaux had a breakout season, earning Freshman All-American honors from the FWAA and 247Sports.

The cornerback committed to the Ducks during the 2020 Under Armour All-America Game after secretly signing with Oregon in the December signing period. Manning picked the Ducks over Arizona State, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M. Georgia was the school that many saw as the biggest threat to Oregon for Manning. The prospect took his official visit to Eugene in late November and used his final visit to Georgia the weekend before signing day.

247Sports National Recruiting Expert Charles Power compared Manning to Marshon Lattimore of the New Orleans Saints and projects Manning to be a first-round NFL Draft pick.

247Sports Evaluation Lean frame with adequate muscle mass and room for growth at the next level. Has continued adding muscle over the course of the past year, heading into his senior season of high school. Looks to have solid length for the position. Has outstanding straight line speed, with a best of 10.67 in the 100 meters in the spring of 2019. Transfers that speed over to the field in multiple facets as he’s a versatile playmaker for his high school team. Shows high-end turn and run ability and excels in man coverage. Has a long stride and does an excellent job of staying in-phase on vertical routes. Shows advanced ball skills and can come down with the ball in traffic and contested situations. Has solid physicality and pop in his hands. Makes plays at a high rate both in coverage and special teams, where he doubles as a dangerous punt returner. His athleticism and open field vision result in a multi-faced playmaker. Will need to continue progressing from a physical and technical standpoint as he advances to the next level. Projects as a multi-year starter at the Power 5 level with the upside of developing into an all-conference player and potential early round NFL Draft pick.

This past week, Manning competed at the 2020 Polynesian Bowl where he was named one of 247Sports' Top Performers from the event.

"Manning is a high upside guy and has a chance to be very good down the road," said 247Sports' Greg Biggins. "He has tremendous speed and is still learning the corner position but had a very nice pass breakup in this one that saved a touchdown. He added eight tackles including five solos and looked very physical in run support. Once the future Oregon Duck adds some polish and technique to his raw athleticism, the sky is the limit for him."

The cornerback plans to enroll in Eugene for the Summer term following his senior track season.
