BREAKING: 5-Star OL Confirms Commits to Alabama

Jackson Cantwell returned to Tuscaloosa on Sunday to attend the Alabama Crimson Tide’s summer cookout.

Cantwell, a 2026 five-star offensive lineman from Nixa High School in Missouri, currently lists Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, and several others in his top 14.

Alabama re-offered Cantwell in March. During his latest visit, he caught up with multiple members of the Tide’s staff.

“I loved it,” Cantwell told Touchdown Alabama. “It was a really fun visit. I enjoyed getting to talk to coach Kapilovic (Alabama offensive line coach) and coach DeBoer too.”

Several Alabama commits attended the cookout, including offensive linemen Micah DeBose, Mal Waldrep, and Ty Haywood. Cantwell spent time with them as well.

“They seem like some good, hard-working dudes,” Cantwell said. “They are very driven and focused and have a plan for when they get to Alabama.”

Cantwell is interested in a return visit this season but currently has no plans locked in. The massive 6-foot-7 offensive lineman is known for his agility and explosiveness as a tackle.
