Wow.

It seemed - at least in my mind - that Nixa, Missouri five-star OT Jackson Cantwell was destined to join former Miami Hurricanes offensive line coach Stacy Searles in Athens as a Georgia Bulldog after he visited the SEC powerhouse over the weekend.

Well, it appeared Mario Cristobal and Alex Mirabal had something to say about that.

The duo kept working and managed to secure the commitment of the top overall recruit in the 2026 class on Tuesday afternoon. Cantwell made the announcement at his school with his mom and dad in attendance.
