2025 Jaguars Prep All Prep Top 25 Announced

May 12, 2025 at 01:31 PM

The Top 25 high school girls flag football players were chosen by Florida High School Football based on their on- and off-the-field achievements and are considered the best at their positions.

The 2025 Coach of the Year and Player of the Year were also recognized at this ceremony. John Staples, Head Coach at Bradford High School, was named the Jaguars 2025 Girls Flag Coach of the Year. Under his leadership, Bradford quickly became a state championship contender, capturing back-to-back district titles, and in 2025 earning the program's first two playoff victories and advancing the Tornadoes to their first-ever regional final. When Staples took over the program, the team had not scored a single point the previous season. Now, over the last four seasons, his current record at Bradford stands at an impressive 33–8. Coach Staples was awarded a pair of custom cleats, plus a $2,500 grant for the Bradford High School athletic program.

Fletcher High School QB Jasmine Cross was named the Jaguars 2025 Girls ALL-PREP Flag Football Player of the Year. Jasmine is a two-time ALL-PREP athlete and led her team to the Gateway Conference Championship and District 3A-3 Championship. Her undeniable skill cemented her as a four-year starter and captain. Jasmine passed for over 2,000 yards and rushed for more than 1,000 yards, and she was responsible for most of the team's touchdowns, accounting for nearly 40 scores while leading her team through one of the most challenging schedules in program history.

The 2025 DREAM BIG Scholarship recipients were also announced and recognized. The 3rd annual scholarship program provides financial support to high school female football athletes pursuing higher education. This year's recipients include Adrienne Rivera from Fort Pierce Central High School, Emma Rayes from Ridgeview High School, and Jaiden Dodge from St. Petersburg High School.

"Northeast Florida has an abundance of talented athletes who are positively impacting the growth of flag football on a local and national level," said Adriel Rocha, vice president of community impact and football development. "On the field and in the classroom, the 2025 Jaguars Girls Flag ALL-PREP Top 25 Team is a great representation of dedication and drive to succeed, and the Jaguars are proud to recognize their efforts."

The Jaguars and Jaguars CB Tyson Campbell recognized the 28 student-athletes, surprising them with custom Jaguars jerseys, Jaguars swag and a shopping spree with their mothers/mother figures thanks to Academy Sports + Outdoors.
