Cantwell?
- Thread starter wcounty
- Start date
He seems to be impressed with Michigan sending linemen to the NFL. Mizzou has had a pretty good track record of linemen going on also. If you’re good enough scouts will find you.
I do t stress over any of this…but the old “they put players in the nfl” is stupid. I usually see it as a way to justify going where you want to go. No program puts players in the nfl…they put themselves in the nfl.
The Rivals national team sees Oregon as the leader. I'll have a story on Cantwell in the coming days.
Probably hard to compete with Oregon track facilities?
No place compares, but he's not set in stone on competing in shot put at the next level.
Hope he's watching the Draft when Membous name is called, don't think there's a michigan lineman going before him.
I got some good stories the past two weeks from him, his mom and coach. No one is showing any cards on what the decision will be, but everyone is backing his decision, no matter if he's staying home or going hundreds of miles away.

Inside Jackson Cantwell's rise to football stardom
Before becoming the top recruit, Jackson Cantwell wasn't certain if football was even the sport he wanted to pursue.
... doesn't quite appear that way to me. JC seems to be one of the most intelligent and composed recruits I have ever seen. My gut says this is still a Missouri v. Oregon competition.
The logical thing for him to do is to play at Mizzou. 2.5 hours from home, parents can be asleep in their own beds after every Mizzou home game, and throw in the Arkansas game too. Can make the NFL just as easily at Mizzou as you can at Oregon or any other P5 program, this is 2025, not 1995. But logic doesn't usually sell. We'll see, hope he ends up at Mizzou and anchors the line for 3 years!
I’m sure Oregon will set the family up with a nice place to stay for as long as they want.
The real story nobody is looking at is the relationship that his dad has with Mizzous Track head coach. Brent Halter was the throws coach back in the day and him and Cristian had a falling out. I'm sure that affects things.
Nice article KennyHere's that story on Cantwell:
Inside Jackson Cantwell's rise to football stardom

This kid isn't going to a school to throw gotdamn shot-put or whatever he throws! He is going to go play football "somewhere" and in three years he will be making a massive amount of money! Can't do that throwing a cannon ball or weighted frisbee....
only person i think who knows is Cantwell himself but i may be wrong ,JMHO
I disagree, first any decision between football and shoot-put will not be sorted out until later in his college career. Second, Jackson has an odds on chance to be challenging for a shot-put world championship in the future. Participating in the shot-put is in no way a hinderance for an offensive lineman ... weight work, the necessary footwork involved and the overall discipline of the event all play as an advantage. If a top lineman plays 10 years in the NFL (talking payday here), a world class athlete in track and field has a similar, if not extended career on the world stage, makes considerably less (no long-term contracts) but athletes earn from $34k for target shooting to $4M+ in gymnastics (Simone Biles). Where Cantwell would fall salary-wise, I do not know.
Not hard, I wasn't ever a fan of Brent's either. Coach McGuire was the goat, but never understood how Brent got that job.
The entire Oregon athletic program will collapse the second Phil Knight dies. I wouldn’t bet the next four years if my life on his health.
Not a fan of either. Mcguire is a good guy but not a big time coach. Wouldn't even recruit outside the state. Just terrible! He could of been at Mizzou for a 150 years and still Wouldn't of won a conference championship. Same with Halter.
Obvious Lee Mizzou can not do this if this year's draft is any indication. 🤔
Yeah, I doubt Phil Knight has provided anything for Oregon Athletics in his estate plan.
Armand Membou - 1st Round
Justin Britt - 2nd Round
Mitch Morse - 2nd Round
Javon Foster - 4th Round
Evan Boehm - 4th Round
Connor McGovern - 5th Round
Larry Borom - 5th Round
Marcus Bryant - 7th Round
Cayden Green and Connor Tollison will be added to this list after next year’s NFL Draft.
That will make five OL taken in the NFL Draft in the past three years.
I would say that averaging better than one OL to the NFL yearly qualifies as being a school and staff that can get OL to the NFL.

was oregon, mow sounds like georgia out of the blue..shot put shmot put..nfl ol to nfl balderdash..this is just who pays the most..and if i am an agent looking out for myself….errrrr…my client..i would recommend a new bidding deal each year..georgia for a year, oregon…ohio st…individual teams have only a modicum of getting anybody to the nfl…
Well I don't remember hearing the names of any Michigan,Oregon, Miami or Georgia O-Lineman being called in the first round before Membou was chosen.
This. It's Sam Horn and baseball all over again. Let the kids play it out and decide for themselves.
