Longhorns Host Elite 2027 Recruit Meredith III
11 Apr
Summary
- Texas hosts 2027 five-star cornerback John Meredith III.
- Meredith is ranked No. 1 cornerback and No. 5 overall.
- He will take an official visit to Texas on June 5.
The Texas Longhorns are actively recruiting for their 2027 class, even as spring practices conclude. On Thursday, the team hosted John Meredith III, a highly sought-after five-star cornerback from North Crowley High School in Fort Worth, Texas. Meredith is recognized as the top cornerback in his class and the fifth-best overall prospect nationally.
His unofficial visit allowed him to observe the Longhorns during practice, fostering a connection with the coaching staff. This visit precedes his official visit to Texas scheduled for June 5. Meredith has other official visits planned with Alabama, Texas A&M, and Ohio State throughout May and June, indicating a competitive recruitment.
Landing Meredith would be a significant achievement for the Longhorns, potentially making him the highest-ranked commit in their 2027 class. However, Texas faces strong competition from programs like Texas A&M, Ohio State, and Alabama, among many others who have extended offers to the talented cornerback.
