- Alabama and Texas A&M are the leading contenders for Meredith.
- Meredith has visited Alabama twice and Texas A&M multiple times.
The 2027 college football recruiting cycle is beginning to take shape, with top uncommitted prospects like five-star cornerback John Meredith drawing significant attention. Meredith, a 6-foot-2, 175-pound athlete from Fort Worth, is currently ranked as the No. 1 cornerback and the No. 1 overall player in his class by major recruiting services.
His exceptional talent has already secured him 42 scholarship offers from Power Four programs. As the recruiting process continues, Alabama and Texas A&M have emerged as the two leading contenders for Meredith's commitment. Both programs have hosted him on campus multiple times, indicating strong interest from both sides.
Alabama has a history of attracting top cornerback talent, having secured four five-star commitments at the position in consecutive cycles. Meredith's potential commitment would align with this trend. Texas A&M, also a strong contender, has a shorter path to Meredith, being located just over two hours from his hometown.
The Crimson Tide's recent visits with Meredith include an October game against Vanderbilt and a visit on the Saturday prior to February 2, 2026. The Aggies hosted him for a camp in the summer of 2024 and have since had him attend games against Notre Dame in 2024 and Florida in 2025.
