Carter Meadows Names Final Four Schools, Including South Carolina
Gonzaga College High School standout Carter Meadows, a five-star edge rusher in the 2026 class, has narrowed his recruitment to four schools, featuring the South Carolina Gamecocks along with Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State. Standing at 6-foot-6 and weighing 215 pounds, Meadows possesses the ideal physical attributes that coaches seek in an edge rusher, with plenty of room for growth.
Meadows is currently ranked as the fifth-best edge rusher and 34th overall in the 2026 class. His impressive frame is complemented by remarkable athleticism, making him one of the most physically gifted prospects of his cohort. According to On3’s Charles Power, Meadows boasts long arms measuring around 35 inches, and he is noted for his fluid movement and excellent bend, essential traits for a successful pass rusher.
The Gamecocks, as the only SEC team on his list, have a unique opportunity to land this coveted prospect, which would mark their first five-star commitment for the 2026 class. The competition is expected to intensify as Meadows prepares to make his decision known in the upcoming fall.
