Brandon Sherrard

It is no secret Texas has been coming on for North Crowley 5-star CB John Meredith III, but for those ready to count out the Aggies I'm gonna pull a Corso and say not so fast. This one has been shaping up to be an in-state fight between the Aggies and Longhorns and confidence is definitely growing in Austin. However, I continue to hear the Aggies are very involved, and I am not ready to wave the white flag just yet.Now the waters are a little murkier lately, and I have had a few plugged in sources let it be known he is capable of a surprise or two regarding his recruitment whether that be his decision timeline, favorites or whatever. Lately, there has been a lot of talk about his decision timeline, and after checking with a few trusted sources close to his recruiting I continue to hear the plan is to take a few OVs before deciding. Those same sources though have indicated some of those visit dates may change which could lead to an earlier decision timeline. The Aggies are also very involved with five-star CB Joshua Dobson, and they have been trending in a very positive direction. Dobson has now visited multiple times, and he hosted the Aggie coaches a couple of weeks ago. He currently plans are to take his official visits before making his college decision this summer, and LSU and South Carolina are a couple of other top contenders to watch. Now, we have been clear in saying we do not anticipate both Meredith and Dobson ending up in A&M's 2027 class, and with both having high interest it could lead to some interesting twists and turns over the next few weeks. Regardless both remain recruitments to watch, and the Aggies are well positioned for two of the nations' best.Texas A&M also extended a couple of 2027 DB offers this week - Tavares Harrington of Chicago (IL) and Loia Valade now at West Boca Raton (FL) - and we continue to hear the Aggies are looking for another versatile defensive back. Both Harrington and Valade fit that bill and the new offers is an indication of the Aggies interest. Both already have some OV plans, Valade with Kentucky, Louisville, Miami, and Florida and Harrington with Notre Dame, Georgia, and Alabama, so the Aggies will need to move quickly. If you want a potential in-state target, the Aggies continue to keep an eye on Shadow Creek CB Brandon Sherrard who has a late May OV set for College Station.
