2026 five-star+ plus Nixa (Mo.) offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell is gearing up for a busy spring and summer on the recruiting trail.

On Tuesday, the No. 1 offensive tackle in the nation set his official visit schedule, which will conclude with a trip to see Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks in Eugene.

The 6-foot-7 1/2, 305-pound lineman will see each school in his top six, which he released earlier this month. Here’s a look at the full schedule for Cantwell according to On3 Director of Recruiting Chad Simmons.

Miami-May 9

Missouri-May 31

Georgia-June 6

Michigan-June 13

Oregon-June 20

Cantwell is right at the top of Oregon’s recruiting big board along with names like five-star+ plus Baltimore (Md.) Georgetown Preparatory School offensive tackle Immanuel Iheanacho, five-star Nashville Christian (Tenn.) quarterback Jared Curtis and On3 Industry five-star Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei wide receiver Chris Henry Jr. among others.

The No. 1 offensive tackle in the 2026 class has raved about his connection with Lanning throughout his recruitment and the Oregon head coach being from his home state is certainly aiding the Ducks in their approach.

“With Dan Lanning being one of the greatest coaches in the game right now and him being from Missouri is a big deal to me,” Cantwell told ScoopDuck earlier this month.

Oregon has one offensive line commitment in four-star Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei standout Kodi Greene who rose to inside the top 10 of the latest On300 rankings, released on Monday.
