He previously committed to Fresno State in August but when Washington State offered him Thursday, he withdrew his commitment and flipped to Washington State. <p class="p1">"It was a really hard decision because of my relationship with the Fresno State coaching staff," Meredith told Greg Biggins of 247Sports. "I was really close with coach (Courtney) Morgan and coach Kirby (Moore, WR coach). Those are my guys and they showed me so much love during this process."</p> <p class="p1">"The biggest thing for me was the opportunity to play in the Pac-12. That has always been a dream of mine and I’m excited to play on that big stage. I thought if I’m going to showcase my talents, why not do it on the biggest stage possible."</p> Meredith is a good route runner with good hands in a Mater Dei program which also features top receivers [player_tooltip player_id="25211" first="Jessie" last="Campbell"] (Army commit), <strong>Ray Romero</strong> with quarterback <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2020/11/recruiting-report/"><strong>Trevor Appleman</strong></a> (New Mexico State commit). He is one of the <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2020/08/top-10-receivers-in-the-san-diego-section-1-5-2/">top receivers</a> in the San Diego area. He is the third receiver from California in Washington State’s 2021 recruiting class, joining <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="25139" first="Orion" last="Peters"]</strong> of Inglewood and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="25098" first="Tsion" last="Nunnally"]</strong> of Cardinal Newman (Santa Rosa). https://twitter.com/JoshMeredith003/status/1334946158083416064?s=20 <strong>State’s top uncommitted receiver goes Pac 12</strong> [player_tooltip player_id="25071" first="Makai" last="Cope"], the <a href="https://prepredzone.com/california/rankings/2021-rankings/">No. 8 receiver in the state according</a> to Prep Redzone announced his commitment to Utah on Friday. The Culver City receiver also had offers from Arizona State, Michigan, Stanford and USC but those recruiting classes filled up quickly. Cope has had workouts with quarterback [player_tooltip player_id="25053" first="Peter" last="Costelli"] of Mission Viejo, a Utah commit. He caught 46 passes for 802 yards and nine touchdowns as a junior and is expected to be an even bigger part of Culver City’s offense this season, if the football season occurs. https://twitter.com/pcnomad1/status/1305213233666469888?s=20 <strong>One of San Diego’s top D linemen headed to Duke</strong> [player_tooltip player_id="25161" first="Mandela" last="Tobin"] of Westview (San Diego) committed to Duke on Friday. The 6-foot-4, 270-pound defensive end <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2020/10/midweek-recruiting-roundup-2/">narrowed his list of schools to six in October</a>, but said he would not commit until the dead period was over so he could take more official visits. The NCAA recently extended the dead period due to COVID which may have made Tobin decide to commit early. Tobin is the first player from California in Duke’s 2021 recruiting class, which ranks 12th in the ACC according to 247Sports. He is the <a href="https://prepredzone.com/california/rankings/2021-rankings/">No. 20 defensive lineman</a> in California’s 2021 class according to Prep Redzone. https://twitter.com/MandelaTobin/status/1317194809228943360?s=20 <strong>Christian Brothers lineman stays local</strong> <strong>Sawyer Hays</strong> of Christian Brothers (Sacramento) committed to Sacramento State Thursday. He was offered by Sacramento State on Tuesday and wasted very little time committing to his hometown school. https://twitter.com/SHays2021/status/1333987690379821056?s=20 Hays had 34 tackles, 10 for a loss, two sacks, two forced fumbles and a blocked punt as a defensive end for Christian Brothers last season. The 6-foot-6, 250-pound lineman also plays tackle on offense and a little bit of tight end as well. He is the third defensive lineman in Sacramento State’s 2021 recruiting class, joining <strong>Kenndel Riley</strong> of Capital Christian (Sacramento) and <strong>Mason Brosseau</strong> of Hanford, who also committed last week. https://twitter.com/coachkeith_1k/status/1330571235814645761?s=20 &nbsp;
