HOOVER, Ala. -- A day after losing five-star offensive lineman Jackson Cantwell in the last hour to Miami, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart decried the current uncertainty surrounding college football recruiting.

Kirby Smart, 105-19 in nine seasons at Georgia, has been vocal about NIL having too much influence in today's CFB.

Jackson Cantwell, top prospect of the 2026 cycle, has decided to commit to the Miami Hurricanes on Tuesday. The Georgia Bulldogs, who extensively pursued him and were highly likely to land him, didn’t succeed in the end.

Jackson Cantwell and his parents once drove 1,200 miles through the heart of SEC Country to visit LSU, Georgia and Alabama. “We had a pretty cool setup,” the Missouri native who is ranked as the No. 1 recruit in the 247Sports Composite said in December before the Under Armour All-American game.
