Texas football news: Longhorns land 5-star cornerback John Meredith

Texas has secured one of the top names in recruiting, landing 5‑star corner John Meredith from Fort Worth, fortifying a class led by coach Steve Sarkisian. Meredith joins a pair of high‑end signings, including JaBarrius Garror, and helps Texas boast two five‑star commitments in the class, with 11 blue‑chip recruits among 16 total pledges. Meredith was ruled ineligible for his senior season after transferring, a decision he plans to appeal. The Longhorns’ class ranks seventh nationally and fourth in the SEC, behind Florida, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M, underscoring Texas’s strong 2027 cycle trajectory.
