Ole Miss football has secured a major commitment from Jackson Cantwell, the nation’s No. 1 overall recruit in the 2026 class. Cantwell, a dominant offensive lineman, chose the Rebels over powerhouse programs like Tennessee and Georgia, marking a significant recruiting victory for head coach Lane Kiffin.
Cantwell’s decision underscores the growing appeal of Ole Miss’s football program under Kiffin’s leadership. Known for his exceptional size, strength, and agility, Cantwell is expected to make an immediate impact on the Rebels’ offensive line. His commitment not only enhances the team’s future prospects but also signals Ole Miss’s rising stature in the competitive landscape of college football recruiting.
This addition bolsters an already impressive recruiting class for Ole Miss, which has been gaining national attention for its strategic acquisitions and strong performances on the field. With Cantwell on board, the Rebels are poised to continue their ascent in the SEC and make a significant impact in the coming seasons.
