HOOVER, Ala. -- A day after losing five-star offensive lineman Jackson Cantwell in the last hour to Miami, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart decried the current uncertainty surrounding college football recruiting.

Kirby Smart, 105-19 in nine seasons at Georgia, has been vocal about NIL having too much influence in today's CFB.

Jackson Cantwell, the top-rated player in the 2026 recruiting class, committed to Miami over offers from Georgia, Ohio State and Oregon, among others.

The visit to Washington was awesome and really got me thinking about how special going home would be." Kodi Greene, the five-star OL, visited the Huskies, praised their program, and in a few days, finally made Seattle his home over Eugene.

Jackson Cantwell and his parents once drove 1,200 miles through the heart of SEC Country to visit LSU, Georgia and Alabama. “We had a pretty cool setup,” the Missouri native who is ranked as the No. 1 recruit in the 247Sports Composite said in December before the Under Armour All-American game.

Jackson Cantwell's decision will impact his future in track and field. The nation's top football recruit explains what it looks like.
