Two University of West Florida football players have signed undrafted free agent deals following the NFL Draft this weekend.
Quarterback Peewee Jarrett and wide receiver John Jiles signed with the New York Jets and New York Giants, respectively.
Austin Reed didn’t hear his name called during the NFL Draft this weekend.
But it appears the former University of West Florida quarterback’s dream to play pro football is still alive after the Chicago Bears signed him as an undrafted free agent.
Jordan Jefferson’s dream to hear his name called in the NFL Draft came true Saturday afternoon.
A former Navarre Raider, Jefferson was taken in the fourth round by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Tyler England has always been one of those athletes that’s gotten the job done on and off the field.
The latest example of that is being named to the National Football Foundation Hampshire Honor Society in April.
The regular season in baseball came to a close for Navarre’s baseball team last Tuesday night.
The Raiders fell 12-2 to Niceville on the road, their seventh loss in their last eight games.
Navarre’s softball team had a tough time against powerhouse Pace last Tuesday night at home.
The Raiders lost 13-0 to the Patriots in five innings, dropping to 9-13 on the year.
Navarre’s hope for a victory in a Region 1-2A flag football semifinal was renewed when Bella Kendall connected with Natalie Busch in stride on a scoring strike at the start of the fourth quarter.
The Raiders cut the Pace lead to nine on Busch’s catch-and-run play down the visiting sideline, leaving plenty of time for Navarre to still complete a comeback Tuesday at Bennett C Russell Stadium.
Jordan Jefferson was 5 years old when he got his first helmet and football.
His dad, AJ, said Jordan saw him watching football on television and wanted to emulate it.
