The top offensive lineman in the class of 2026 announced his official visit schedule, and the Nebraska Cornhuskers did not make the cut. Jackson Cantwell is a five-star offensive tackle for Nixa High School in Nixa, Missouri.
All four recruiting services rank Cantwell as the No. 1 offensive tackle in the class of 2026. On3 and Rivals also rank him as the overall top prospect in his class.
The five-star recruit will visit the Miami Hurricanes on May 9, the Missouri Tigers on May 31, the Georgia Bulldogs on June 6, the Michigan Wolverines on June 13, and the Oregon Ducks on June 20.
Other schools that were cut along with the Huskers were the LSU Tigers, the Alabama Crimson Tide, the Texas A&M Aggies, and USC Trojans.
Cantwell excels at sports other than football. He was the 2023-24 Gatorade Missouri Boys Track & Field Player of the Year for his performance in the shot put.
It should be no surprise that Cantwell would excel at the shot put. His father, Christian Cantwell, is a five-time world champion and won the silver medal in the shot put in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
His mother, Terri Cantwell, was also an accomplished athlete. The native of Crete, Nebraska, participated in the 2000 Syndey Olympics and was a two-time NCAA shot put champion at Southern Methodist.
