FSU to host 4-star CB from Miami on official visit
FSU to host 4-star CB from Miami on official visit
J'Vari Flowers was one of the top cornerbacks in the 2026 recruiting cycle but that is no longer the case. The Miami, Florida product reclassified on Wednesday and joined the 2025 recruiting cycle. The four-star prospect is now looking for a home and he has been in contact with FSU.
He discussed his recruitment with On3's Keith Niebuhr and said that the Seminoles, Florida Gators, and Georgia Bulldogs will "definitely" get official visits. The Miami Hurricanes are also expected to be a major contender for him.
Flowers was the No. 66 overall player and No. 7 cornerback in the On3 industry raking for the 2026 cycle and his ranking has not yet been updated to reflect his reclassification. The 5-foot-11, 165-pounder was also the No. 10 player from Florida.
The Seminoles were seemingly done at cornerback in the 2025 cycle, having landed three-star prospects Shamar Arnoux and Antonio Cromartie Jr. but Flowers' decision has changed that. They have a battle ahead of them, but getting him on campus for the visit will give them a show in what could be a quick recruitment.
Flowers had an extremely successful junior season for Miami Northwestern, helping them go 12-2 and win a state championship. He contributed in all three phases, finishing with two interceptions and 12 total touchdowns, and was named a Junior All-American by MaxPreps.

Dean Cain says men shouldn't compete in women's sports; releases heartwarming film on girls' soccer team
Friday marks the nationwide release of family-friendly sports film "Little Angels", a triumphant story of a team of athletes and an unyielding coach, written, directed and produced by actor Dean Cain. "Little Angels" unfolds the story of Jake Rogers, a Division I college football coach, played by Cain, with $5 million and a take-it-or-leave-it chance for redemption on the line. A male-centric statement hurdles the lead into a reflective arc and, when writing the script, the red-card comment "soccer is for girls," was definitive, according to Cain. "It's always a joke I make," Cain told Fox News Digital. "Soccer is the world's game and I make fun of soccer because I played as an American football player and that's just what we do. We make fun of soccer. We make fun of rugby." In 1988, after his collegiate football career at Princeton, Cain was signed to the Buffalo Bills as a rookie. His professional NFL career came to a halt when he injured his knee. While the on-air declaration that soccer is for girls kicks off Rogers' journey to softening in "Little Angels", the topic of men in women's sports is not a cornerstone of the film. However, Cain is firm in his position that, after a certain age, boys and girls should not compete together. "I'm a huge, huge supporter of women's athletics," Cain told Fox News Digital. "I don't think men or boys have any business once they're past the age of 7 or 10 competing together." "When you get to those higher levels, I don't think that men should be competing with women, period, end of story," Cain said. "Many of my ex-girlfriends have been professional athletes, and I really have tremendous respect for women's sports. I think it's hugely important to have women be able to compete against women and do that." The benchmark theme of "Little Angels" is purpose and perspective and reserves the plot for a heartwarming tale of teamwork and family. "There's a lot of me in that character," Cain said of Rogers. Despite public perception, Rogers cannot be defended from his offside remark about female athletes. "College football coaches get looked at sometimes like they're a deity of something, like they're a God of some kind," Cain said. Rogers is met with an ultimatum: coach a team of 12-year-old girls or lose $5 million. Films like "A League of Their Own," "The Mighty Ducks" and even the true underdog story of "Dodgeball" echo a similar sentiment and evoke childhood memories across generations. The timeless tale in each of these movies follows a team of misfits bonded together by both their love of the game and a defeated coach who finds inspiration through group aspirations. This narrative conjures wistful affection in a way that other genres outside sports dramas cannot. "Take a guy who is flawed in a situation where he doesn't want to be," Cain said. "Through human experience and being with these young ladies and other people, he teaches them teamwork and the value of team and family." The movie, starring Lou Ferrigno, Bryan Callen and Swedish actress Helena Mattson, began casting during the COVID-19 pandemic. "You hope that you get them together and they have chemistry," he said of the athletes. "They are the heart of the story." "The young actresses were phenomenal," Cain said of a cast including Alex Jayne Go and "Role Models" actress Alexandra Stamler. Cain's niece and goddaughter also star in the film as athletes. "I've been called Superman forever and that's great. I love it," Cain said. "If people call me Coach Jake after this, 'Hey Coach Jake,' that's a warm fuzzy for me. It's a big-time warm and fuzzy." Cain is working on four films this year, including a golf-centered movie that he is co-directing with his son. The world premiere of "Little Angels" was featured at the International Christian Film Festival (ICFF) in May. There, Cain was awarded with the ICFF Lifetime Achievement Award, though he feels he is just getting started. "Little Angels" hits theaters nationwide on Friday, June 6, 2025.

Sean O'Malley to have surprise cornerman in UFC 316 rematch with Merab Dvalishvili
Sean O'Malley is set to have his father in his corner at UFC 316 this weekend, where 'Sugar Sean' aims to regain the bantamweight title from Merab Dvalishvili. In September, Dvalishvili comprehensively outwrestled the striking specialist to win the belt, before retaining the gold with a comeback decision win against Umar Nurmagomedov in January. Advertisement O'Malley, meanwhile, has not fought since his loss to the Georgian and hopes he will be coming in fresh for this rematch in New Jersey, where his father will be part of his corner team. 'It's a cool gift to be able to give your dad,' said the American, 30, at the UFC 316 pre-fight press conference on Thursday (5 June). 'His 60th birthday, he's gonna be sitting there cageside, watching me fight. There's nothing better I could give to him. I'm excited for him to be in there.' Dvalishvili, 34, initially gave credit to O'Malley for being humble ahead of their second showdown, although the champion changed his tune as the press conference progressed. Advertisement 'This is a new fight, this is a new challenge,' said Dvalishvili, who has won 12 straight fights, dating back to 2018. 'Like Sean said, he will be 70 per cent better. I am expecting him to be a better version of himself than last time. I know now he's humbled, but he wants to knock me out, and I'm here to not let him do that. 'I'm gonna break him. After, we can be friends, no problem, but 7 June, we are enemies again. I'm gonna show a better fight and break him. Merab Dvalishvili (top) dominated Sean O'Malley at UFC 306 (Getty Images) 'This is the fight business, and of course I'm ready for everything. He's a tough fighter, he has 10 wins in the UFC, and wherever it goes, I'm gonna make sure I'm gonna win. I'm not gonna give my belt to him; this is mine, and I'm gonna keep it. We can be friends after. Let's go.' Advertisement However, after O'Malley said, 'Come Sunday, no one's gonna give a f*** about Merab. You know, I truly believe I'm gonna knock Merab out,' the Georgian fired back: 'Keep talking, and you're gonna get more humbled. 'I'm making people humble, you will see 7 June. He was playing all this time like a humble guy, but okay: I'll show you again, one more time. Keep talking.' Earlier in the press conference, O'Malley said: 'This is a completely different fight, but [I'm] undefeated in rematches, we're gonna keep it that way. Merab's mastered his skillset, no excuses, he won the first fight. We're fighting again, that's it.' Dvalishvili after retaining his title against Umar Nurmagomedov in January (Getty Images) O'Malley's only career defeats have come against Dvalishvili in September and Marlon Vera in 2020. Sugar Sean avenged his stoppage defeat by Vera with a clinic in March 2024 to retain the 135lb title on points. That result was O'Malley's only successful title defence, after he won the belt with a knockout of Aljamain Sterling in 2023.
