Texas A&M's John Meredith reclassifies to 2026, impacting recruitment
Summary

John Meredith, a five-star cornerback initially committed to Texas for 2027, has reclassified to the 2026 class. Announced during SEC Media Days, Meredith will now be eligible to play this season as a freshman. His decision eliminates Texas A&M's hopes of flipping him from Texas. The Aggies are expected to intensify their pursuit of five-star cornerback Joshua Dobson, who remains committed to South Carolina but indicated his recruitment is not over. The outcome of South Carolina's upcoming season may influence Dobson's commitment status.
