Mike Norvell and the Florida State Seminoles secured another strong addition Friday morning, snatching blue-chip Florida defensive back prospect Jamari Howard. Tack on another verbal commitment for Tribe 24, and it’s a big one for Patrick Surtain!
Jamari Howard is a 6’2, 175 pound defensive back who plays for Norland High School in South Florida. He is currently ranked 123rd nationally by 247Sports (11th best cornerback and 18th best player in Florida). Howard was previously committed to Michigan State, but backed off on his pledge in mid-May. He chose the Seminoles over 30 other offers from the likes of the Alabama Crimson Tide, Florida Gators, Georgia Bulldogs, Miami (FL) Hurricanes, Oklahoma Sooners, Penn State Nittany Lions, and Texas A&M Aggies.
