On3 Vice President of Recruiting and transfer portal Steve Wiltfong has put in his prediction for Nixa (Mo.) five-star offensive lineman Jackson Cantwell.

Wiltfong has predicted that the No. 1 prospect in the 2026 On3 Industry Rankings will land in Georgia with a confidence of 60 percent.

Things have shifted Georgia’s way according to Wiltfong after Cantwell changed his commitment date and set an unofficial visit to Georgia just days before his new decision is set, May 13.

Cantwell will now visit on May 10. The five-star is choosing between Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon and Miami.

Wiltfong caught up with Cantwell earlier today.

“I think it’s a program that I’ve liked for a while,” Cantwell told Wiltfong. “It’s something I’ve been excited about. It’s been a minute since I’ve been there… There is a lot to like about Georgia,” Cantwell continued. “I think the coaching situation is great. I like the development and I like the city of Athens. It’s a great town and they win a lot of football games.
