Oregon added another major piece to its loaded recruiting class on Wednesday when star cornerback Avante Dickerson announced his commitment to the Ducks.

ESPN ranks Dickerson as the No. 2 cornerback in the country and the 49th-best prospect in the Class of 2021. He originally pledged to Minnesota before decommitting in January.

The 6-foot, 170-pound speedster was also a track star in high school, and he'll bring some exceptional athleticism to Mario Cristobal's secondary. Dickerson's commitment likely secures another top-ranked recruiting class in the Pac-12 for the head coach of the Ducks.
