A top class of 2026 offensive lineman has released his game-day visit schedule, and Nebraska made the list. Jackson Cantwell is a five-star offensive tackle for Nixa High School in Nixa, Missouri.
Cantwell will visit Nebraska on Saturday, September 7, when the Huskers host the Colorado Buffaloes at Memorial Stadium. He will also visit Mizzou on September 21, Georgia on October 5, Alabama on October 26, and LSU on November 9.
Cantwell excels at sports other than football. He is the 2023-24 Gatorade Missouri Boys Track & Field Player of the Year and a two-time Missouri Class 5A state champion in the shot put.
It should be no surprise that Cantwell would excel at the shotput. 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.
Game day visits! Excited to get to tour some great programs and see some great games! #NSGB @jperry_nixa @CoachMedley66 @ChadSimmons_ @TomLoy247 @ByKyleKelly @SWiltfong_ @RivalsFriedman @GregSmithRivals @JohnGarcia_Jr @adamgorney @BarstoolMizzou @BarstoolHusker @COCsportsreport pic.twitter.com/YZNeoR685u
