The Jacksonville Jaguars are hosting a month-long celebration for Hispanic Heritage Month throughout September, launching community outreach programs and student-athlete recognition under the banner "Somos DUUUVAL."
The initiative addresses the growth of the Hispanic and Latino community in Northeast Florida through youth sports, literacy outreach, and leadership initiatives.
Adriel Rocha, the Jaguars vice president of community impact and youth development, emphasized the initiative's focus on community service and culture. "Hispanic Heritage Month is a reminder of the rich culture, contributions and leadership of the Hispanic community and through Somos DUUUVAL, the Jaguars strive to celebrate and strengthen that spirit in Jacksonville," Rocha said. "Through a month-long series of initiatives for the Hispanic community, we are harnessing the power of service to strengthen connections and make a lasting difference in this community."
As part of the initiative, Jaguars PREP, the foundation's youth programming branch, partnered with Ticketmaster and Farah & Farah to host two youth football camps focused on athletics and leadership skills.
Nearly 350 students in third through fifth grades at BridgePrep Academy and Englewood Elementary School are participating.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have arguably one of the strongest wide receiver rooms in the NFL. Most of the attention has been placed on Brian Thomas Jr., who had a stellar rookie season followed by a down second year. However, he has performed well throughout OTAs and training camp, and expectations are high for his third year.
In addition to Thomas, though, the Jaguars also have Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington, who both became favorite targets of quarterback Trevor Lawrence in 2025, and two-way star Travis Hunter.
Between the four, the group has been ranked as among the best in the league, particularly if Thomas does turn in a stronger performance in 2026. And regardless, one of the benefits of this group is that each receiver brings something unique to the table, meaning there isn't necessarily one star expected to stand above the rest.
In a press conference, Thomas didn't agree that it was unusual to have the production spread out, even if it means that the four of them aren't turning in mind-blowing stat lines.
Anthony Campanile and Brian Thomas Jr. speak to the media.
