Longhorns Land the Big One: Five-Star OT Jackson Cantwell Commits to Texas Over Miami, Oregon, and Ohio State Austin, TX — The University of Texas has scored a major recruiting victory, landing five-star offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell in a dramatic commitment that has sent shockwaves through the college football world. Cantwell, one of the most sought-after prospects in the 2025 recruiting class, announced his decision Thursday afternoon, choosing the Longhorns over fellow powerhouse programs Miami, Oregon, and Ohio State. The 6-foot-8, 320-pound lineman is ranked among the top offensive tackles in the nation and is widely considered a cornerstone talent capable of anchoring a collegiate offensive line from day one. The Missouri native made his announcement during a nationally televised segment, donning a burnt orange Texas cap and stating, “Texas felt like home. Coach Sarkisian and his staff showed a clear vision for my development, both on and off the field.” Cantwell’s commitment marks a significant win for head coach Steve Sarkisian, who continues to build a formidable class heading into the Longhorns’ transition to the SEC. Analysts have praised Texas’ recruiting efforts in the trenches, and the addition of Cantwell only strengthens that narrative. “Jackson is a game-changer,” said 247Sports analyst Greg Biggins. “He’s powerful, athletic, and has a high football IQ. Texas is getting a future first-rounder.” With Cantwell in the fold, Texas moves up in the national recruiting rankings and further cements its reputation as a destination for elite offensive line talent. This latest addition adds fuel to the excitement building in Austin as the Longhorns aim to return to national championship contention in the coming years.
