Florida football is getting set to host the first edition of the Grill in the Ville event, which welcomes prep prospects from a range of recruiting classes into the Swamp to get a gander at what Billy Napier and the Gators have to offer.
While a lion’s share of the 2024 class visitors has already made their commitments to the Orange and Blue, there is still a pair who are weighing their decisions closely. Among those is four-star cornerback [autotag]Jamari Howard[/autotag] out of Miami (Florida) Central, who will be in Gainesville on Saturday, July 29.
The former Michigan State Spartans commit announced his plans for Florida’s midsummer event a couple of weeks ago. He decommitted from MSU back in mid-May and has trending upward for the Gators since.
The summer stop will represent his fourth visit to the Swamp this year with plenty of time still remaining before he intends on announcing his decision. The 6-foot-2-inch, 175-pound defensive back has made just two official visits so far with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights as well as the Spartans.
UPDATE: Howard will not be making his visit, according to On3’s Corey Bender.
Howard is ranked No. 109 overall and No. 12 at his position nationally according to the 247Sports composite while the On3 industry ranking has him at Nos. 122 and 15, respectively. On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine has the Florida State Seminoles in front for his talents with a 25.3% chance of landing him, followed closely by the Spartans (21.1%), Gators (14.4%) and Scarlet Knights (12.0%).
