“Better than jumping in pool”: CFB fans give Dan Lanning side-eye as Mario Cristobal reacts to Jackson Cantwell’s commitment

College football fans had an interesting reaction to Miami Hurricanes coach Mario Cristobal reacting to Jackson Cantwell committing to Miami.

Cantwell was the top-ranked recruit in the class of 2026, and Cristobal was heard screaming when he secured his commitment.

After the video, fans had an interesting reaction and also poked fun at Dan Lanning, who jumped into a pool when he landed a commitment.

"Better than jumping in pool," a fan wrote.

"No cannonball into the shallow end?," a fan added.

Fans also think Cristobal shouldn't be surprised they landed Cantwell, given how much money they gave him.

"3 million to not even win the ACC," a fan wrote.

"5 million is insane for a unproven O Lineman!!," a fan added.

Cantwell could be a Day 1 starter for Miami, and many fans are eager to see Miami spend money and try to become a top contender.

"Guy mailed him a blank check what’s he so excited for," a fan wrote.

Cantwell is the No. 1-ranked prospect in the class of 2026. Along with Miami, Oregon, and Georgia also showed interest in the star offensive lineman.
