Five-star offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell isn’t the one to come and let your offense run at the same pace as before. He’s meant to elevate the ball game like no other. Cantwell skipped his senior year at Nixa High School in Missouri, but College football programs can’t wait to get him on board. It’s Cantwell who’s taking a bit of time to make up his mind. But it seems he’s closer than ever, and it seems to save the day of Coach Dan Lanning and the Ducks.
Cantwell wisely scouted through his top six schools, including Oregon, Missouri, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, and Miami. But his recent tweet suggested a tweak. The touted OT wrote, “journey is almost over, where is home? “Just within two days, he came up with a big Oregon bombshell. He will be there in Eugene for an official visit by the end of this month. “Oregon will be April 19-21 for an OV,” Cantwell said to On3. “Or potentially April 25-27. Either one.”

He had already been to Miami, Ohio State, and Michigan this summer. The trip to Eugene is likely to be his last before the final call. But interestingly, it seems the visit might not be able to make any drastic change in his mind as the OT said, he already had all the necessary ingredients about the schools he considers. The top 2026 recruit also stressed that his family would play a big factor in his decision. In the past, Jackson visited the Ducks once, but without his family, especially his mom, by his side.
This time, maybe, just maybe, he can take his mom to the school to be more sanguine about their worth. “It’s an opportunity to check out Eugene one more time and to make sure Oregon is what I last remember it as,” Cantwell said. “Also, I haven’t seen a spring practice up there yet and seen a few other minor details, so it would be good to do so”. He has been an avid admirer of Coach Lanning and the way he has set up the locker room culture at Oregon. It will be interesting to see where he finally takes a sail.
