Howard took official visits to Rutgers and Michigan State in June, and also made a stop at Florida State at the end of July. The Seminoles have hosted him more than any other school to date, and currently hold a significant lead in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM).

Jamari Howard Scouting Summary

“Long and rangy two-way player who turns whatever side of the field he is on into an island when playing corner. Measures in at 6-foot-2, 175 pounds with a freakish 6-foot-8 wingspan. Ran a 22.80 200m as well as a blistering 49.71 400m during his sophomore track and field season. Uses his length to manhandle receivers off the line of scrimmage. Has the recovery speed to get back in phase with receivers to make a play on the ball. Will naturally fill out his frame as he physically develops.”
