The Hurricanes have struggled to make progress under coach Mario Cristobal, but secured a huge recruiting coup on Tuesday with the addition of the student athlete widely regarded as the nation's best player in the Class of 2026, offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell.

Nixa offensive lineman Jackson Cantwell made his decision on Tuesday afternoon in front of a crowd at the Aetos Center for the Performing Arts.

Jackson Cantwell spoke out against reporting that his decision to commit to Miami over Georgia and others came down to NIL.
