Miami (Fla.) Norland four-star cornerback Jamari Howard is ready to make his commitment.

On Monday, Howard announced that he will commit on Nov. 10 and will choose between Florida, Florida State, Maryland, Michigan State and Rutgers.

The 6-foot-1, 170-pounder is the No. 136 overall prospect in the 2024 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 17 cornerback and the No. 19 recruit in the state of Florida.

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.”
