Blue-chip CB names Texas in top five schools
Blue-chip CB names Texas in top five schools Texas has eight commitments in its 2026 recruiting class. They have one cornerback in four-star Hayward Howard Jr. who committed earlier this month. The Longhorns are also heavily in play for another cornerback in four-star Justice Fitzpatrick as he named them in his top five schools this week. Fitzpatrick plays at powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and has 43 total offers. He's the nation's No. 62 overall player and the No. 7 cornerback per On3's industry rankings. They have him as the No. 11 prospect in the state of Florida as well. It was a very productive junior campaign for Fitzpatrick in 2024. He racked up 34 tackles, two interceptions, and seven pass breakups as he aided St. Thomas Aquinas when the Florida 5A state championship. He also received Junior All-American honors from MaxPreps. Fitzpatrick hasn't spent a lot time in Austin with just an unofficial visit taken this April. However, he has an official visit locked in for June 13, which gives the Longhorns and opportunity to separate themselves from the pack.

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.
