Jaxon Flowers eyes FSU breakthrough as visits loom

The 2028 three‑star safety prospect evaluates the Seminoles’ progress amid lingering doubts

Jaxon Flowers, a 2028 three‑star athlete from Florida, has quickly become one of the most watched prospects in the state after a standout performance at a July 2024 camp. The 6‑foot‑3 quarterback‑safety earned his first offer from Florida State University, a program that has since been joined by several other power‑conference schools.

Flowers will travel to Tallahassee on August 29 to watch the Seminoles open their season against the New Mexico State Aggies, and he is slated to return on November 27 for the annual rivalry game with the Florida Gators. Both trips are intended to give him a firsthand look at the team’s development and competitive atmosphere.

A critical evaluation

Coach Mike Norvell and safety coach Evan Cooper have emphasized Flowers’ defensive abilities, viewing him as a potential anchor in the secondary. Their early interest was sparked by his versatility and his capacity to play both quarterback and safety at a high level.

Ranked 26th nationally and fifth among Florida athletes in the 247Sports composite, Flowers said he wants to see the Seminoles demonstrate measurable improvement after two seasons that fell short of expectations. He hopes the upcoming visits will reveal a more competitive roster and a culture poised for resurgence.

The recruitment landscape surrounding Flowers also includes offers from Miami, Florida, Auburn, Liberty and UAB, underscoring the breadth of his appeal. As he weighs his options, the outcomes of his Tallahassee and Gainesville visits may ultimately shape his final decision.
