Jackson Cantwell finished No. 3 in Rivals' final Rivals300 rankings for the 2026 class, which is obviously elite. But it also still feels low for a prospect who checks every box and is headed to a Miami program that just played for a national title.
Cantwell, a 6-foot-8 offensive tackle from Nixa, Mo., has been at the top of every major recruiting service for two years, including as the No. 3 overall prospect in the 2026 ESPN 300. And while the difference between No. 1 and No. 3 is often just evaluator preference, Cantwell's case is that he's not just the best tackle in the class.
