Texas has wrapped up spring camp and began to make their way towards summer conditioning. This time of year is about one thing above all else: recruiting. Major visits will be unfolding all around the country over the next two months, with a number of top recruits completing their recruitments. As we head into the frenzy that is early summer recruiting, it’s a good time to tab five recruits Texas fans should be watching very closely.
**CB John Meredith**
The #2 ranked player in the composite rankings is John Meredith, the elite CB out of North Crowley High School. He has garnered interest from just about every major college in the country, including Texas A&M, Ohio State and Alabama. Those will be the three other places he will visit early this summer, with Bama coming before Texas while A&M and Ohio State coming after. This is a recruitment Texas seems to be in the pole position for currently but this will be a battle. If the Longhorns can snag a commitment from Meredith, he’ll be the most valuable addition to the 2027 class.

**WR Easton Royal - Texas commit**
This will be the player you have to watch until he puts pen to paper. Easton Royal is the #2 WR in the country, only trailing Monshun Sales, another Longhorn target. Royal has gained massive interest from a number of major teams but Florida, Tennessee, Ole Miss and LSU are the main contenders with Texas. The good news is Texas has the final visit, something that can be very valuable in major recruitments. If Texas is going to keep Royal in this class, it’ll take a remarkable effort and fending off other suitors.
