Elite 2026 CB J'Vari Flowers set to reclassify to 2025
Miami (Fla.) Northwestern 2026 four-star cornerback J’Vari Flowers is reclassifying to the Class of 2025 and will join a college program this summer, according to multiple reports.
Flowers is one of the top prospects in the rising senior class and was a standout at this month’s Under Armour All-America Bowl in Orlando among a number top recruits.
“He was the most dominant defensive back from start to finish at Under Armour,” On3 National Scout Cody Bellaire wrote after the event. “From Day 1 he started off strong with multiple pass breakups during the team and 7-on-7 periods. He followed up a strong Day 1 of practice with an even stronger Day 2, collecting two pass breakups and an interception during the team period. Flowers solidified his spot as a top performer in Thursday’s game, making an acrobatic interception off of K.J. Lacey, jumping a quick screen. He later came down with a late-game pass breakup, saving a touchdown. The Miami native’s instincts, and ability to mirror and play the ball at the catch point allowed for him to put on a show in Orlando.”
The 5-foot-10, 160-pounder is the No. 66 overall recruit in the 2026 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also ranks as the nation’s No. 7 cornerback and No. 10 prospect in Florida.
In addition to his prowess on the football field, Flowers is the reigning Florida 3A state champion in the 100-meter dash with a 10.43 time to his name.
Flowers’ recruitment continues to grow
Since his performance at both Under Armour week and the Battle 7v7 event earlier this month, Flowers has been getting no shortage of recruiting attention, he told On3’s Steve Wiltfong.

“Since the Under Armour game there’s been a lot of recruitment going on,” Flowers said. “My stock definitely jumped up after that game. Georgia came in the picture. Building a great relationship with Coach T-Rob and Coach Smart. Georgia Tech also came in the picture. Building a stronger relationship with them.”
Miami has also been a mainstay in his recruitment, and may even be considered the leader right now. But the Hurricanes will have to hold off many other suitors to land him.
“The program is coming back up,” he told Wiltfong. “They’re trying to keep all their good players down here. Trying to keep everyone home. I like what they’re doing with the staff.”
2025 prospects are able to sign with a school beginning next Wednesday as part of the February signing period. From there, they have until April 1 to ink with the school they plan to attend.
