Meredith Reclassifies to 2026 | Texas Longhorns Football News

John Meredith, once the top 2027 prospect, just flipped the script—reclassifying to 2026 to enroll early at Texas and play this fall after being ruled ineligible for his senior year. Coach Sarkisian confirmed he’s ready to compete, calling Meredith a five-star, No. 4 cornerback in Texas with elite length, speed, and swagger. The move, originally a commitment over Texas A&M, is framed as business, not personal, with Meredith aiming to become the world’s best DB. His addition vaults Texas’ 2026 class to No. 7 overall, joining stars like Dia Bell and Tyler Atkinson. While the 2027 class dips slightly, this is a seismic recruiting moment—one of the biggest stories in college football right now.
