Jaguars Celebrate
25th Season by
Investing in the
Next 25
A season-long celebration of the Jaguars historic 25th season
came full-circle in 2019 with a special surprise for the next
generation of local football talent at Englewood High School.
On Tuesday, Sept. 24, following a surprise introduction by former
Jaguars CB and Englewood High School alumnus Rashean Mathis,
the Rams’ varsity football team was given their first look at a more
than $100,000 renovation to their locker room courtesy of the
Jaguars Foundation and many community partners.
“This celebration of our 25th season is a historic milestone for the
entire community,” said Jaguars President Mark Lamping during
the surprise reveal. “Beyond the touchdowns and fan festivals,
we wanted to leave a legacy for the next generation of Jaguars
fans and players. We jumped at the chance to partner with one
of our great local alumni in Rashean Mathis and give these young
student-athletes a space where they can grow and succeed. This
project underscores the connection that has been created and built
in local communities by the NFL for 100 years and the Jaguars for
the past 25 years.”
