TAMPA, Fla. – Steve Sarkisian broke some news Thursday at the SEC's media days when he announced that blue-chip defensive back recruit John Meredith reclassified from the 2027 class to 2026 and will join Texas football for the upcoming football season.

Meredith, a 6-foot-2, 188-pound cornerback, was ranked as the No. 2 overall prospect in the nation for 2027, per 247 Sports. He played last season at Trinity High School in the Fort Worth suburbs but tried to transfer to defending state champion North Crowley in the offseason. Earlier this month, the UIL declared Meredith ineligible at North Crowley but said he could play at Trinity.
