— Cedric Melton (@iamcedricmelton)

The 6-foot-5-inch, 275-pound Melton is rated as the 126th-best offensive tackle in the country, per 's national rankings. 

He was one of four offensive linemen in ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥'s 2020 recruiting class, but was the only one who didn't sign a national letter-of-intent (NLI) during the early signing period in December. Canadian Leif Magnuson committed last week; and while he has yet to sign a NLI, he said his official visit over the weekend

Melton has been pursued by Ole Miss, which recently visited him at family's  home.

ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥'s 2020 recruiting class now has 18 prospects, including 12 who have already signed, four who have committed and two graduate transfers: wide receiver Brenden Schooler (Oregon) and defensive tackle Aaron Blackwell (New Mexico). Two linemen — three-star Missouri center Josh Baker and three-star Florida tackle Woody Jean — are among those who have signed.  

National Signing Day will take place on Feb. 5.
