Miami reportedly makes $2,000,000 NIL move for Nation’s top high school recruit Jackson Cantwell amid Georgia interest
The high school recruiting circuit is abuzz speculating on the nation’s No. 1 recruit Jackson Cantwell’s commitment. The five-star athlete has been actively recruited, and Georgia, Miami, Ohio State and Oregon have emerged as the top contenders. However, per On3, the Buckeyes are out of the race.After No. 1 QB Jared Curtis committed to the Bulldogs, Georgia’s rank shot up from No. 17 to No. 7. With Curtis as a linchpin, Kirby Smart wants to create a top recruiting class, targeting top recruits across the nation. As per On3’s Hayes Fawcett, Georgia is eyeing five-star OT Jackson Cantwell, LB Tyler Atkinson, TE Mark Bowman and RB Derrek Cooper.
But Mario Cristobal is hot on his trail, eager to get him onboard. Maimi is reportedly expected to offer a $2,000,000 NIL deal to land Cantwell.At the same time, if Cantwell commits to Georgia, he might have to take a pay cut. Head coach Kirby Smart has recruited top talents using the “Georgia discount,” – NIL deals at a discount rate.
Since Cantwell has an NIL valuation of $1.5 million as compared to No.1 QB Jared Curtis’ $2.6 million who will reportedly take less than $1 million per year to stay close to home at Georgia, Cantwell might need to consider his NIL deal. And Miami’s $2 million lure could compete with Georgia’s interest
