@John Garcia Jr. tabbed 2026 offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell and Missouri signee Donovan Olugbode as the fifth-best and eighth-best performers, respectively, at Under Armour Next All-America Game practice Tuesday.
The No. 1 prospect in the 2026 Rivals250 has been working at right tackle for a lot of practice so far. You wouldn’t know it from seeing practice but he’s never played that spot before this week. So the fact that he’s been a top performer while playing out of position is notable. He even played some guard during the team period and held his own. Cantwell’s footwork and technique are advanced for his age. He’s a fast learner and he did a great job keeping up with the elite athletes he saw off the edge. The Missouri native has all the tools to be a cornerstone tackle. Those skills have been on full display so far in Orlando. Oregon, Georgia, Michigan, Missouri and Nebraska are just some of the programs jostling to secure an official visit from him this spring or summer.
The Missouri signee isn’t the flashiest wideout of the bunch but he just wins reps. Olugbode started off his day with pretty snags on air, including a one-handed grab, but got his best work in during one-on-ones against fellow future SEC players in coverage. The powerful player won underneath with great balance and acceleration but he also got to flash the third-level ball skills in winning a contested catch in the end zone before securing another win on a skinny post. Few pass catchers bring the floor Olugbode will soon show off in Columbia.
