While Thursday's news was encouraging for Texas, they are not the only program Meredith locked in a visit with. Over the next few months, he will also make trips to Alabama, Texas A&M, and Ohio State. With those elite programs in the running, Sarkisian has his work cut out for him.
Although Meredith has frustrated offensive coordinators with his play, he has also made national headlines. The Longhorns target participated in the Under Armour All-America Game just a few months ago. He also earned MaxPreps Junior All-American honors during the 2025 campaign.

If Meredith were to commit to the Longhorns, he would join a talented 2027 class. That group includes four-star recruits such as Easton Royal and Cameron Hall. They will be joined by three-star prospects Cade Haug, Karnell James, Ty Knutson, and JT Geraci. Adding Meredith to that group would give Texas a top-five class.
Over the next few months, the Longhorns will be a program to keep an eye on as the elite cornerback narrows down his options. When he is on campus, Sarkisian will be able to show Meredith why his college career should include a stop in Austin.
