"We develop NFL talent": Michigan fans react to No. 1 2026 prospect Jackson Cantwell's visit to Sherrone Moore's program
Sherrone Moore and the Michigan Wolverines' top recruiting form is set to continue as they hosted top 2026 prospect Jackson Cantwell on Sunday. Cantwell is ranked No. 1 in the 2026 recruiting class per On3 Industry Ranking.
The Wolverines signed Bryce Underwood on Dec. 4, the top prospect in the current recruiting cycle. Many are wondering if they will repeat the feat.
Fans on social media, especially X (formerly Twitter), reacted to Cantwell's visit to Ann Arbor. A Wolverines fan wrote,
“We develop NFL talent, GO BLUE.”
Similarly, another Michigan fan on the platform wrote,
“Go Blue! With Babaloa, potentially Haywwod, and you. Y'all could make an all-time OL front in 26 and 27.”
Another Wolverines fan commented,
“Go blue young sir. But more importantly, keep grinding! Proud of you for being the best jr in the country! Keep that rating for your sr year and let’s progress to that number one pick.”
However, rival fans also aired their opinion. A Nebraska fan wrote,
“Scarlet and cream will look so much better!!”
Another rival fan wrote,
“Even Michigan wants you to go to Mizzou. That’s why they are wearing our logo!”
What does Jackson Cantwell think of Sherrone Moore's Michigan Wolverines?
Jackson Cantwell expressed his impression of Sherrone Moore's program after his visit. He posted a picture of himself and the coach on X with the caption,
“Had a great time visiting @UMichFootball today! Was great to learn about the program and why it’s so highly regarded. It was a blast!”
Cantwell spent the last weekend visiting the Michigan Wolverines and their Big 10 rivals, Ohio State. The Nixa High School (MO) product is one of the most sought-after prospects in the 2026 class. He has garnered over 30 offers from top programs, including Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Miami and Oregon.
The Wolverines have received two pledges from prospects in the 2026 class: three-star wide receiver Jaylen Pile and four-star cornerback Brody Jennings. Adding Cantwell will be a great feat for Moore and his team.
The teenager's parents are former USA Olympians Teri and Christian Cantwell. His father is an Olympic silver medalist in shot put. Cantwell also throws the shot put in addition to playing football.
