MAJOR RECRUITING WIN! DB J’Vari Flowers Picks #Gators Over Notre Dame & Miami in Huge Late-Cycle Decision!
In a stunning turn of events, 4-star defensive back J’Vari Flowers has committed to the University of Florida, choosing the Gators over elite programs like Notre Dame and Miami. The late-cycle commitment, which came as a surprise to many, is a huge boost to Florida’s 2025 recruiting class and has Gators fans buzzing with excitement.
Flowers, who hails from Miami, has been one of the most coveted defensive prospects in the country, showcasing exceptional speed, ball skills, and versatility as both a cornerback and safety. His ability to cover ground quickly and make plays on the ball has made him a standout in his recruiting cycle. His decision to join Florida represents a major coup for head coach Billy Napier and his staff, who have been hard at work securing top-tier talent for the future.
While Flowers had been leaning toward a decision between Notre Dame and Miami, the Gators ultimately won out thanks to a combination of factors, including their strong defensive development program, a growing relationship with Florida’s coaching staff, and the program’s rising trajectory under Napier. Florida’s pitch of building a championship-caliber defense and preparing Flowers for the NFL resonated strongly with the talented DB.
This commitment places Florida in an even stronger position as they continue to build their 2025 recruiting class. Flowers’ addition adds yet another piece to a defense that is quickly becoming one of the most promising in the SEC. With Florida already stacking up talent on both sides of the ball, Flowers’ decision further elevates UF’s national profile as a recruiting powerhouse.
The Gators’ 2025 class is already shaping up to be a top-10 class, and with more high-profile prospects still considering Florida, this win over Notre Dame and Miami could signal even greater things to come for the Gators in the years ahead. The momentum continues to build as Florida solidifies itself as a major player in the recruiting game.
