Wolverines Raid the South: Michigan and Sherrone Moore Rip 5-Star Jackson Cantwell from SEC’s Backyard
Sherrone Moore just made a national statement — and the entire college football world heard it loud and clear.
In a massive recruiting victory, Michigan has landed 5-star offensive lineman Jackson Cantwell, ripping him straight out of SEC territory and flipping the script on the traditional recruiting powerhouses down South.
Hailing from Missouri, Cantwell was heavily pursued by the likes of Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee — but in the end, it was the Wolverines who came out on top.
For Moore, this is more than just a commitment. It’s a culture-shifting moment that signals Michigan’s rise as a national recruiting juggernaut under his leadership. Cantwell, a 6’8”, 300-pound mauler with freakish athleticism, is widely considered one of the most physically dominant offensive linemen in the 2025 class. His commitment gives Michigan not just an elite trench talent, but a recruiting win that echoes across the country.
The SEC has long dominated the narrative of recruiting supremacy — but Moore’s ability to go into their backyard and pull out a premier talent proves that Michigan is no longer content to play second fiddle. After winning a national title in 2023, the Wolverines are now flexing on the trail with equal force.
This isn’t just a win — it’s a shot fired. With Ohio State watching, and the SEC powers stunned, Michigan just reminded everyone that the Maize and Blue are coming, and they’re not backing down.
Moore isn’t just replacing Jim Harbaugh — he’s building his own empire.
And with Jackson Cantwell leading the charge in the trenches, that empire just got a whole lot stronger.
