[Hank South]

With John Meredith III reclassifying to 2026 and enrolling at Texas, let's take a look at where Rivals, ESPN, and 247Sports ranked the star cornerback. 

Rivals -- No. 4 cornerback, No. 32 overall player 

ESPN -- No. 1 cornerback, No. 3 overall player 

247Sports -- 5-star grade (98), no positional slotting

Would’ve moved the class to top 5, no?

I still see Texas in the 7-8 range with 247 and Rivals. 

ESPN's class rankings is hard to navigate but it certainly moves Texas up.

Interesting. Wonder if they even adjusted them.

Of course rivals would be the one to buck the trend and try to make john not as good all of a sudden

ESPN has UT as number 1 in 2026 with 5 top 21 players

If he has half the coverage skills of Vogel Texas will be in good shape!

[CoachScott619]

Do we think he's only sticking around for 3 years with the reclassification? Or does he treat this like a bonus year and stay for four?
