NFL Flag Championships: Jaguars Elite 14U wins title with shutout of Miami
Jacksonville has a football champion that wears teal and bears the name "Jaguars." The Jaguars Elite 14U team turned in a dominating defensive performance after averaging 29 points in their first six games and blanked Showtime of Miami (sponsored by the Atlanta Falcons) 13-0 on July 20 to win the NFL Flag Championships at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Village in Canton, Ohio. Brysen Wright of the Jaguars 14U Elite flag football team looks for running room against the Atlanta Falcons on July 20 during the NFL Flag Championships on July 20 in Canton, Ohio. Quarterback Dalton Motes threw a 25-yard TD pass to Jaiden Bennet in the first half and Jayden Timmon caught a TD pass off a trick play with 9:05 left in the game. In two games on July 20, Motes completed 18 of 23 passes for eight touchdowns.

Jaguars Elite 14U player Dayvon Jenkins (0) tries to elude two players from the Atlanta Falcons team in the NFL Flag Championships final on July 20 in Canton, Ohio. Dayvon Jenkins intercepted a pass on Atlanta's first possession and the Jaguars forced the Falcons to lose the ball on downs five times. Wright, a rising sophomore at Mandarin, scored 10 touchdowns and five extra points in seven games and was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. He went viral on Saturday with a one-handed TD catch that was re-posted on social media by Patrick Mahomes, Chad Johnson and Bijan Robinson and viewed more than 1 million times. 'It's just a blessing to come out here and win with my guys and to bring it back to the city,' Wright told 'Getting noticed by [NFL players] at a super young age is already a blessing.'

Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer. Gary Cosby Jr.-Imagn Images While Wright does not yet have a rating for his class, On3's Hayes Fawcett predicts that the recruit will be one of the top national prospects. Alabama comes into 2025 on the backs of a 9-4 season under head coach Kalen DeBoer. It was the first time Nick Saban had not been on the Alabama sidelines since 2007. However, rumors have been circulating that the head coach could be eying a return. Greg McElroy reported that someone close to the situation revealed it would not be out of the realm of possibility. Advertisement That was until Saban's daughter, Kristen, posted an Instagram story revealing that her father's coaching days are long behind him. For DeBoer, he is trying to bring the Crimson Tide back to the level of competing for national titles. With the way last season ended, he appeared on a list of head coaches under the most pressure heading into the 2025 season, coming in at No. 7. DeBoer's second season opens with the Florida State Seminoles on August 30. Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
