As of February 28, 2025, five-star edge rusher Carter Meadows from Washington, D.C., has not committed to any college football program.

The 6-foot-6, 215-pound standout from Gonzaga College High School has garnered over 20 Division I offers, including from prominent programs such as Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State. Recent reports indicate that his recruitment is primarily focused on these three schools.

 

On3’s national team recently elevated Meadows to a five-star prospect, ranking him No. 6 overall nationally. This significant jump from his previous position at No. 259 highlights his impressive physical attributes and on-field performance. On3 Scouting Director Charles Power noted Meadows’ elite measurables and rare movement skills, emphasizing his unique ability to bend at his size.

 

While Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State are considered frontrunners in Meadows’ recruitment, he has also received offers from other notable programs, including Florida State, Georgia, Notre Dame, and Michigan State. His versatility as a dual-sport athlete in football and basketball adds to his appeal among these top-tier programs.

 

As Meadows continues to evaluate his options, the college football community eagerly awaits his decision, which could significantly impact the recruiting classes of the involved programs.
