The Florida Gators have reeled in another prospect for the 2025 cycle, as 4-star cornerback J’Vari Flowers committed to Billy Napier‘s program on Monday.

Back in February, the Gators were able to flip Onis Konanbanny from Tennessee. Now, they have landed another late addition at cornerback in Miami Northwestern’s Flowers, who previously reclassified from the 2026 class. Gators Online highlighted the Gators’ strong standing with Flowers on Sunday.

Flowers, a speedy defensive back who participated in this year’s Under Armour All-America Game, quickly put Florida near the top of his list after reclassifying in January. Nothing changed after UF went through coaching changes in the secondary either.

The Gators were still able to receive an official visit earlier this month and ultimately beat out plenty of competition for the On300 top-100 prospect. That includes Notre Dame, Miami, Georgia, Auburn, North Carolina and Syracuse

“They’re a big factor. They’ve got a couple players up there I’m familiar with. I know they put players in the right direction. And they have a a great history. They’re a powerhouse program that’s going to be back on top,” Flowers previously said of Florida when speaking with Gators Online.

Additional 2025 cornerbacks in the Gators’ class are Ben Hanks III and the aforementioned Onis Konanbanny. Florida also signed Southern Miss transfer Michael Caraway Jr., who could play a mixture of positions in the secondary.

According to the On300 rankings, Flowers is the No. 82 overall prospect and No. 10 cornerback. He is also the No. 12-ranked prospect in Florida, and that’s even after reclassifying, so this is a big-time talent.

J’Vari Flowers Scouting Report

Elite athlete at corner who doubles as one of the top returners nationally. Measured at around 5-foot-10.5, 175 pounds in the offseason before the 2024 season. Reclassified late in the process, joining the 2025 cycle in January 2025. At top combine athlete who is also a star sprinter. Posted a scintillating 10.43-second mark in the 100 meters along with a 20.95-second time in the 200 meters. Has the speed to run with any receiver.

Good fluidity and is able to change directions well. Physical as a run defender and isn’t shy in lowering his shoulder. Closes quickly in defending the quick game. Dynamic return man who shows the ability to take kickoffs and punts to the house. A top talent with the ball in his hands.

Slight of frame and not physically imposing. Will need to add strength. Has early round upside with physical development. — On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power
