Jackson Cantwell, the No. 1 overall football recruit in the 2026 high school class, will announce his college destination before the end of the month.
Cantwell, a Nixa High star, will make his announcement on April 30 in the Nixa High School theater building. He told the News-Leader he would set up four hats and pick one between Miami, Georgia, Oregon and Ohio State — meaning he's ruled out Mizzou and Michigan.
Cantwell expressed his desire to be done with the recruiting process. He previously said he was hoping to have a school picked out before the end of the summer, but his timeline has moved to before the end of his junior year.
