Nixa (Mo.) five-star offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell has had a change in his schedule. The No. 1 overall prospect in the 2026 On3 Industry Rankings has changed his commitment date to May 13, according to a post on his X account.

He has also set an unofficial visit to Georgia for May 10. Cantwell was originally set to commit on April 30. Georgia was among the final group of contenders that included Oregon, Ohio State and Miami.

The five-star offensive lineman was at Oregon over the weekend for the Ducks’ spring game. Cantwell hasn’t been to Georgia since the fall but he has stated that he did not need to see much else with Georgia.

The Bulldogs have been a major contender for Cantwell since the beginning.

“I’ve talked to him a lot, I’ve seen him almost like 10 times in person now,” Cantwell said in previous interview. “For me, Georgia is the place that I’ve taken the most visits to, they’re tied with Missouri. The amount of times that we’ve talked and the things that we’ve talked about has been good. I’ve enjoyed getting to talk ball there and kind of what they do and how they develop.”
