The New York Giants selects Oklahoma State Cornerback Korie Black with the 246th overall pick in 2025 NFL draft.
With their final pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the New York Giants selected Oklahoma State cornerback Korie Black at No. 246 overall. Black stands 6 feet tall and weighs 192 pounds, bringing solid size and youth to the Giants’ secondary.
The Giants had already added key players like Abdul Carter, Jaxson Dart, Darius Alexander, Cam Skattebo, Marcus Mbow, and Thomas Fidone before rounding out their draft class with Black. His arrival adds more depth to the cornerback room and could help shore up the back end of the defense.
Korie Black’s Strong College Career
Black spent five years with the Cowboys, appearing in 62 games and making 38 starts. His final season in 2024 was impressive: he was voted a team captain, earned All-Big 12 honorable mention honors, and started all 12 games. He led his team with three interceptions, ranking eighth in the Big 12 and 53rd in the FBS.
In 2023, Black allowed just 16 receptions across more than 350 coverage snaps, ranking third among FBS cornerbacks per PFF. He also earned the title of OSU’s Defensive MVP against Central Arkansas, where he showed his all-around ability with a tackle for loss, a pass breakup, a forced fumble, and a blocked field goal.
Scouting Report Highlights.
According to ESPN, Black shows good recovery speed and the ability to make plays even when out of position. He has a knack for reaching around receivers to break up passes without drawing penalties. Although he doesn’t catch every ball he contests, he’s reliable at extending and plucking passes out of the air.
While Black wasn’t invited to the NFL Combine, he impressed at his pro day, showing off his athleticism. The Giants are hopeful that his instincts and competitive play will make him a valuable contributor.
