The Jaguars and Jaguars PREP continued their summer of youth football campaign on July 10 by hosting the Nike 11-On Tournament with 16 boys high school football teams participating. Student-athletes across Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia played in a series of pool play games and single elimination playoff style bracket with Bradford High School (Starke, Fla.) taking home the 2025 7v7 tournament championship title. Teams also competed in a linemen challenge, a series of competitions emphasizing their strength, agility and teamwork, with Columbia High School (Lake City, Fla.) achieving the trophy.
The Boys PREP Prospect Camp was held for boys ages 8-15 on July 11 with more than 200 athletes joining the Jaguars and U.S. Men's National Flag Football Team quarterback, Darrell "Housh" Doucette III, for the elite skills camp. Doucette spoke to the athletes about his journey in flag football, competing at the highest level and representing the United States on an international stage.
"The Jaguars are committed to giving every athlete the opportunity to compete at a high level, and we feel these camps and tournaments provide those opportunities for hundreds of athletes to not only develop but fall in love with the sport," said Adriel Rocha, Jaguars vice president of community impact and football development.
Prior to the NFL FLAG Championships in Canton, OH, nine of the 11 teams representing the Jaguars gathered at the Jaguars’ performance facility, the Miller Electric Center, for a celebratory sendoff. The Jaguars were a force to be reckoned with as the Jaguars Elite 14U boys were undefeated and named the 2025 NFL FLAG Champions for their division.
The 14U Boys NFL FLAG Champions, along with more than 40 Jaguars Elite girls flag athletes (ages 7-17) and more than 40 local high school boys athletes, were recognized at Back Together Sunday, July 27, during the Jaguars Training Camp. The kids interacted with Jaguars players as they entered the field for practice and received autographs and were recognized by Head Coach Liam Coen to the crowd of spectators.
Jaguars PREP and Baker Sporting Goods partnered together again this year for their High School Media Day on Aug. 1. Sixty high schools and over 350 athletes and coaches from North Florida and Southeast Georgia spent the afternoon at EverBank Stadium interviewing with local media about their upcoming seasons.
