Jackson Cantwell Commitment: Miami Hurricanes football lands top recruit

Nixa High School’s Jackson Cantwell picked Miami (Florida) as his college destination during a ceremony on Tuesday afternoon in Nixa.

I could have gone anywhere in the country, and I was blessed to be able to visit lots of great programs. I met a lot of great people. But at the end of the day, the genuineness, the emphasis on my position, and the campus and academic prestige only helped me make my decision.

Anyone can compare football stats from various schools. Almost nobody can compare how the people there treat the players and how much they truly love playing at a university. And even though there’s always someone that’s going to be unhappy about their situation on the field, nobody I’ve talked to truly wants out of Miami.

The coaches are fantastic people and fantastic at what they do. And I’ve had the blessing of being recruited by a lot of fantastic schools. Oregon coach Dan Lanning and Georgia coach Kirby Smart are two who come to mind who did a fantastic job, and I commend those programs for being genuine. And I wish them success in the future; the people in those programs are fantastic.

And that’s the hard part of this process for anyone — finding the one school.

But I feel great about my choice, and I have a lot of reasons why. The amount of effort and objectiveness with which offensive line coach Alex Mirabal coaches is unmatched. It meant the world to me and my family how hard they recruited us and how much time they poured into us going into my decision, not just to get me to the school but to show me that they had a plan and thought highly of me to where I would have a lot of great opportunities on and off the field at the university.

It was truly the best situation.
