JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – In partnership with FloridaHSFootball.com, the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Jacksonville Jaguars Community Foundation recognized 25 outstanding Flag Football athletes in the Jacksonville Jaguars market with their names being a part of the 2024 Jaguars All-PREP Flag Football Team.
This year’s team saw the number of athletes recognized expand from 15 athletes to 25 athletes from the first two years of recognition that started in 2022.
The top name on the list was Fleming Island all-around utility player London Jenkins. Jenkins is considered to be the most dynamic player that her coach, Clint Lyons, has ever been around and also was nominated by multiple coaches in the Jacksonville area to be this year’s Jaguars All-PREP Player of the Year. Jenkins finished her senior year with over 1,835 total yards with 21 rushing TDs, six receiving TDs, and five passing TDs along with 13 interceptions on defense with four of those returned for TDs. This is Jenkin's second time being selected to the Jaguars All-PREP Flag Football Team.
For coach of the year, Ed White (Jacksonville) Flag Football Head Coach Bachir Saoud led the Commanders to a district championship, the Gateway Conference championship and to the regional finals on a roster that was younger than the 2023 team. For his efforts, Saoud will receive a $2,500 grant from the Jacksonville Jaguars to help support the future teams of Ed White Commanders Flag Football.
At the recognition event held on Wed. May 8, 2024 at Academy Sports + Outdoors location on Southside Blvd. in Jacksonville, the 25 athletes were celebrated for their accomplishments along with receiving a customized Jaguars jersey with their last name and the number they wore on the field, a Jaguars swag box filled with gear and other Jaguar's goodies, plus each athlete received a $200 shopping spree to use that evening at Academy Sports + Outdoors as part of getting something for Mom for Mother’s Day this coming weekend.
In addition to all the goodies and rewards given to each of the athletes, one athlete was named Jaguars All-PREP Player of the Year while one coach was named the Jaguars All-PREP Coach of the Year. Both Player of the Year and the Coach of the Year received customized cleats as an award that were designed by the same artist that the Jaguars use for “My Cause, My Cleats,” an NFL supported effort to support athletes to represent their favorite causes through the use of their game day cleats each season on the designated day for “My Cause, My Cleats.”
