Nation’s No. 1 recruit five-star OT Jackson Cantwell schedules visit to Michigan

Michigan football has plenty of visits planned for spring and summer, and it all begins in March. The Wolverines are in the top-six for No. 1 recruit five-star offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell, and it would be the second-straight year landing the top recruit after bringing in 2025 five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood last cycle.

Cantwell is set to be with the Wolverines on March 22. Though it won’t be an official visit, he will likely be back in Ann Arbor this summer. The 6-foot-7, 305 pounder will precede his Michigan trip with visits to Miami (March 17-18) and Ohio State (March 20-21).

The rest of Cantwell’s top-six consisted of Georgia, Oregon and Missouri. Per On3, it’s the Tigers with the best chances to land him at 22.3 percent. He holds an offer from almost every major program in the country.

Michigan will also host four-star EDGE Jake Kruel, four-star cornerback Brody Jennings, four-star OT Sam Greer and four-star IOL Breck Kolojay on the same day.
