Five-star cornerback John Meredith III announced his commitment to Texas on Friday.
Meredith is ranked as the No. 2 overall recruit in the Class of 2027 by the 247Sports composite.
The Fort Worth, Texas, prospect chose the Longhorns over Texas A&M following official visits to both.
Coach Steve Sarkisian’s recruiting class also includes five-star wideout Easton Royal and eight four-star players, per 247Sports.
The 6-foot-2, 180-pound Meredith was recently ruled ineligible for his senior season. According to the Dallas Morning News, a district athletic committee determined that his offseason move from Euless Trinity High School to North Crowley was a transfer for athletic purposes.
ESPN reported that Meredith planned to appeal that ruling.
