We've known for a while that Nixa offensive lineman Jackson Cantwell would be one of the top-ranked recruits in the nation once the rankings for his class came out. After 247Sports released its initial rankings on Wednesday, it has been confirmed.
247Sports, one of the top national recruiting outlets in the country, has the Nixa sophomore ranked as the No. 6 player in the 2026 class.
Cantwell, at 6-foot-8, 300 pounds, is the second-ranked offensive lineman, only behind Lamar Brown, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who is 6-foot-4, 300 pounds.
No player in the current 2026 rankings is rated as a five-star recruit as Cantwell is initially listed as a four-star prospect.
