REGION 1-7A

Creekside (18-9) at Oviedo Hagerty (21-6)

Carly Dall's pitching helped the Knights knock off Spruce Creek in round one, setting up a trip to Seminole County. Hagerty's Alabama signee Ana Roman (.481, 8 HR, 30 RBI) and UCF signee Lexi Beldowicz (.478, 14 2B, 5 HR, 23 RBI) bring fence-clearing power to the plate. The winner meets Lake Brantley or Apopka on May 15.

REGION 1-6A

Oakleaf (12-12) at Pace (21-3)

Charlotte Maddox has been leading the Knights with both pitching and hitting, allowing one earned run total in her last seven games. The challenge steps up against Pace and sophomore sensation Hannah DeMarcus (20-2, 0.33 ERA, 364 K, 29 hits allowed all year). Navarre or Winter Garden Horizon is up next for the winner.

REGION 1-5A

Middleburg (19-8) at Matanzas (22-1)

No-hit pitchers face off. Middleburg's Cloey Ballinger hurled a no-hitter in the Broncos' opening-round win over Milton, with a big boost from Mallory Ficklin's three-run triple. Pitching for Matanzas is Florida commit Leah Stevens (16-0, 0.37 ERA, 221 K), who pitched her third no-hitter of the season in the regional quarters against Ponte Vedra. The winner gets Niceville or Tallahassee Chiles.

REGION 1-4A

Panama City Beach Arnold (18-8) at Baker County (20-4)

6 p.m.

Nasia Green is coming off an excellent first-round playoff for Baker County with two doubles and a homer. To advance, the Wildcats must find a way to get on base against Southeastern Louisiana commit Bre Clark (16-8, 1.45 ERA, 16 BB, 261 K), while the Marlins' Laela Kern bats .413 with seven homers.

Columbia (15-11) at Fort Walton Beach (19-8)

The long-ball watch is in effect. Fort Walton Beach's Alyx Hall has blasted nine home runs with a .435 batting average, and Columbia has 15 as a team, including six from Josie Raulerson and four from Kimber Long. Tigers pitcher Harleigh Price is up to 110 strikeouts.

REGION 1-3A

Suwannee (12-11) at Paxon (18-5)

After beating West Nassau, Suwannee has shown its credentials for upsets, and Gracie Watley (2.77 ERA) is coming off one of her best games in 2025. Paxon's potent lineup has not one but two freshman batters above .500 in Sariyah Jackson and Maleah Rouse, who also combine for 31 extra-base hits. The winner would play Wakulla or West Florida.

REGION 1-2A

Episcopal (22-5) at Baldwin (19-7)

One of Northeast Florida's classic matchups. Episcopal won in the 2021 playoffs and Baldwin came out on top in 2022, 2023 and 2024. Amelia Oreair (.469, 9 2B, 7 HR) and Emily Davidson (.447, 10 2B) are big run producers for Episcopal, while for Baldwin, Jazmine Ramos-Merced is a threat to hit any pitch onto Center Street beyond that left-field wall. Baldwin's Hayden Peebles threw a no-hitter in round one. Up next would be North Bay Haven or Bozeman.

REGION 1-1A

Harvest Community (22-6) at University Christian (18-4)

Three-hit games from Elise Harmer and Hadley Clifton helped Harvest clear a first-round hurdle against Peniel, but a tougher test is next. UC has already beaten Harvest 17-1 and 16-0, and includes one of Jacksonville's best two-way threats in Dixie Tessier. The winner will play North Florida Christian or St. John Paul II, both from Tallahassee.

The Florida High School Athletic Association continues high school baseball regional playoffs for Classes Rural through 4A in Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. Series are best-of-3, with the first two games at the host team specified. If a third game is necessary, it will be played at the team that was visitor for the first two games.

Game times are 7 p.m. May 5, 7 p.m. May 6 and 7 p.m. May 8 unless specified. All schedules are as reported by the FHSAA, but are subject to change.

REGION 1-4A

Clay (22-9) at Panama City Beach Arnold (25-7)

Can the Blue Devils qualify for their first final four since 2018? Getting past Arnold means beating an excellent one-two combination of Florida commits in Cooper Moss (7-2, 0.44 ERA, 122 K, 0.905 WHIP; .386, 9 2B, 3 HR, 1.113 OPS) and Eli Blair (7-2, 1.49 ERA, 64 K, 0.888 WHIP). Clay has held opponents to three runs or fewer for eight consecutive games, and pitching is crisp with Gator commit Rylan McMahan (6-2, 2.26 ERA, 83 K) and Levi Chmura (7-2, 1.69 ERA, 52 K). The winner moves on to Hammond Stadium in Fort Myers, to play a May 19 state semifinal against an opponent to be determined based on the FHSAA's rating formula.

REGION 1-3A

Suwannee (23-8) at South Walton (28-3)

After going the distance in their first two playoff series, the Bulldogs face the tough trip westward to top seed South Walton. Suwannee's batting order includes four batters above .300 (Noah Lopez, Jace Moran, Kyler Watson and Colton Rogers), and pitching depth has helped, including Gabe Garcia's ace performance against West Florida. They'll have to be near-perfect to overcome a South Walton lineup led by Coleman Borthwick (.486, 5 HR, 47 RBI, 1.562 OPS). The winner will play an early state semifinal on May 19.

REGION 1-2A

Bozeman (26-6) at Trinity Christian (27-4)

Even though Trinity Christian deploys a dream pitching staff of Aaron Watson (7-0, 0.64), Ethan Wheeler (8-2, 1.54) and Tyler Ellis (5-4, 0.94), they can't afford to overlook Bozeman. The Bucks already bounced Bolles and Bishop Snyder, and their lineup packs extra-base punch with Zac Flitcraft (.376, 17 2B, 4 HR, 35 RBI) and Cash Zirkle (.383, 7 2B, 2 HR, 27 RBI). Brady Harris holds a 1.108 OPS against one of the toughest schedules anywhere. The winner has a lengthy break before the May 20 state semifinals in Fort Myers.

REGION 1-1A

University Christian (21-9) at St. Johns Country Day (23-8)

A frequent postseason meeting, won by St. Johns in 2019, 2021, 2023 and 2024. Not only do the Spartans seem to thrive under late-inning pressure in postseason, but they have a near-unhittable ace in Brayden Harris (9-0, 0.53 ERA, 131 K) and 30 combined home runs, led by Nick Bowden and Preston Cole with six each. University Christian is also turning up the offensive production, headlined by Bryson Harnage (.451, 8 HR, 35 RBI) and Caden Worbington (.432, 3 HR, 22 RBI). The winner heads to Fort Myers on May 14.

REGION 3-R

Union County (14-14) at Mayo Lafayette (22-2)

A tough matchup for the Fightin' Tigers. Lafayette has beaten them twice in 2025, 11-7 and 11-1, and includes an all-around star in Florida Gulf Coast commit Hyatt Richardson (.474, 6 2B, 3 HR, 28 RBI, 1.200 OPS; 7-1, 1.04 ERA, 100 K). But Union County's bats are hot, erupting for 21 runs in two games against Branford, including a four-RBI performance from Jake Walker in the second game of the regional semis. The winner will play in the state semifinals in Fort Myers on May 14.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have completed the player-acquisition portion of the offseason, bringing the team to 91 players by bringing in 11 veteran free agents, nine draft selections, and 22 undrafted free agents.

Jacksonville holds a roster exemption for receiver Louis Rees-Zammitt, who is a part of the NFL's International Player Pathway Program.

Jacksonville's draft was headlined by wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter. Jaguars general manager James Gladstone made the ultimate call to make a trade up from fifth-overall to second-overall to select Hunter. Jacksonville and the Cleveland Browns had a deal worked out on April 7 to make the move, so long as the Tennessee Titans chose quarterback Cam Ward.

The move marked the first major move of the Gladstone, head coach Liam Coen and EVP of Football Ops. Tony Boselli's reign. Coen was hired shortly after Boselli was named EVP. The two then hired Gladstone and the rest is history.

Gladstone had said multiple times throughout the offseason that he would not be afraid of making bold moves, even early on in his career as a GM. He stayed true to his word with actions on draft night.

“I’ve been talking a lot — a lot — since I took this job,” Gladstone said via The Athletic's Mike Silver. “But to actually do something, and stand on business, is a great feeling. People believe action much more than words. It was good to get some action.”

Jacksonville is not in the evaluation portion of the offseason, but we jumped ahead of them a bit and took a try at predicting the team's 53-man roster.

Jaguars’ 2025 NFL draft picks

Here's the full 2025 draft class of the Jacksonville Jaguars:

Jaguars’ undrafted free agent signings

The Jaguars agreed to terms with 22 undrafted free agents just after the 2025 NFL Draft. Here they are:

Jaguars initial depth chart projection after NFL Draft

For the purposes of this initial 53-man roster, we opted to retain all nine rookie draft picks, but made it difificult for any undrafted free agent rookie to make it at this time.

Note: Rookie additions are denoted in italics

Quarterbacks (3)

Starter(s): Trevor Lawrence

Reserves: Nick Mullens, Seth Henigan

Out: John Wolford

Observations: The Jaguars signed Henigan as an undrafted free agent. The former Memphis quarterback could have a market if released during final cuts. Wolford, while he knows Coen's system, might have to look elsewhere to be developed further.

Running backs (4)

Starter(s): Travis Etienne

Reserves: Tank Bigsby, Bhayshul Tuten, LeQuint Allen Jr

Out: Ja'Quinden Jackson, Keilan Robinson

Observations: The Jaguars could easily keep just three running backs, but it's clear they want to redo the room a bit. Tuten is a virtual lock to make the team, with Allen likely to make it if the team keeps four. Robinson isn't long for the roster after essentially sitting out his rookie year with an injury.

Wide receivers (5)

Starter(s): Travis Hunter, Brian Thomas Jr., Dyami Brown

Reserves: Gabe Davis, Parker Washington

Out: Chandler Brayboy, Cam Camper, J.J. Jones, Eli Pancol, Austin Trammell, David White Jr., Joshua Cephus

International player: Louis Rees-Zammit

Observations: This might be the toughest room to track because of Hunter's presence. The Jaguars will use Hunter as a receiver, but the question is how often? Hunter will split time between receiver and cornerback. If the team sees Hunter as a true top receiver alongside Thomas, it's hard to envision them keeping more than five on the roster, barring special-teams standouts.

Tight ends (3)

Starter(s): Brenton Strange

Reserves: Hunter Long, Johnny Mundt

Out: John Copenhaver, Patrick Herbert, Shawn Bowman, Patrick Murtaugh

Observations: The Rams kept three tight ends last year and I think the Jaguars will follow that roster breakdown a bit. There's no reason to think anyone but the top three make the roster at this point.

Offensive linemen (9)

Starter(s): Walker Little, Ezra Cleveland, Robert Hainsey, Patrick Mekari, Anton Harrison

Reserves: Chuma Edoga, Cole Van Lanen, Wyatt Milum, Jonah Monheim

Out: Luke Fortner, Fred Johnson, Cooper Hodges, Denis Daley, Sal Wormley, Javon Foster

Observations: This could be the end for Fortner after starting 24 games with Jacksonville to start his career. The Jaguars drafted a center in the seventh round and drafted another offensive lineman, Milum, in the third round. Hodges has sustained back-to-back devastating injuries. Foster doesn't fit what the Jaguars like.

Defensive ends (4)

Starter(s): Josh Hines-Allen, Travon Walker

Reserves: Emmanuel Ogbah, Jalen McLeod

Out: BJ Green, Ethan Downs, Danny Striggow, Myles Cole

Observations: We debated where McLeod should be placed and ultimately settled at end, even though he's unlikely to man the spot. McLeod will be a pass-rush specialist, giving Jacksonville a change-of-pace player ala Yasir Abdullah. Due to what he's expected to bring, putting him at defensive end made sense. The Jaguars could opt to keep more than four here, but it'd likely need to be an undrafted player.

Defensive tackles (5)

Starter(s): Davon Hamilton, Arik Armstead

Reserves: Maason Smith, Tyler Lacy, Jordan Jefferson

Out: Keivie Rose, Eli Mostaert, B.J. Green, James Carpenter

Observations: Again, we went chalk here. The Jaguars could want to see more growth from Jefferson and Lacy this offseason for them to make the roster. Smith's potential is far too high for him to be cut.

Linebackers (5)

Starter(s): Foye Oluokun, Devin Lloyd, Ventrell Miller

Reserves: Jack Kiser, Chad Muma

Out: Branson Combs, Yasir Abdullah

Observations: The linebacker position will take time, but ultimately, we believe the team will move on from Abdullah after drafting McLeod. With Kiser in the room, it could spell the end for Chad Muma if the team opts to keep just four linebackers on the 53-man roster.

Cornerbacks (6)

Starter(s): Travis Hunter, Tyson Campbell, Jourdan Lewis

Reserves: Jarrian Jones, Buster Brown, De'Antre Prince

Out:Jabbar Muhammad, Aydan White, Doneiko Slaughter, Christian Braswell, Zechariah McPhearson

Observations: Another position group that'll be fluid. Hunter is going to play cornerback in Jacksonville. The question is, how much and how often? Jacksonville's corner group was redone this offseason for good reason. They ranked dead last in pass defense last year.

Safeties (5)

Starter(s): Eric Murray, Darnell Savage

Reserves: Antonio Johnson, Caleb Ransaw, Rayuan Lane III

Out: Andrew Wingard, Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig, Daniel Thomas

Observations: Is this the end for a couple of long-time Jaguars special teamers? We project that both Ransaw and Lane will make the roster. Lane brings impressive special-teams capabilities, while Ransaw could see himself as the starting safety to open Week 1. We still aren't sure if Savage will make the roster.

Specialists (3)

Starter(s): Cam Little, Logan Cooke, Ross Matiscik

Reserves: N/A

Out: N/A

Observations: Perhaps the best special-teams unit in the NFL.

Hunter wants to “change the atmosphere” in Jacksonville. And the Jaguars believe he can, calling him a “rare player” who “embodies belief” of better days ahead.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Two-way star Travis Hunter walked into the Jacksonville Jaguars facility for the first time Friday, saw general manager James Gladstone flipping a football and grabbed it.

“It didn’t take long for Travis to produce his first takeaway,” Gladstone quipped. “It’s going to be a fun go if that’s what we see here on the horizon.”

Hunter was still carrying the ball when he arrived at his introductory news conference an hour later. It was a playful prop and set the tone for an entertaining debut in front of an audience that included the mayor, the sheriff and dozens of fans.

The Jaguars traded up three spots — they gave up significant draft capital to make it happen — to select the Heisman Trophy winner second overall in the NFL draft Thursday night. After a late night in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Hunter hopped on owner Shad Khan’s private jet Friday morning and stared out a window the entire flight to Florida because he was “just excited to get here and be able to come back home and get to work.”

Hunter was serious, too.

He canceled his return flight to remain in Jacksonville, go house hunting with his fiancé and begin catching passes from quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

“I’m going to come out and do my job,” Hunter said. “I’m not going to say I’m going to change anything. I don’t want to set the expectation too high. I’m just going to come in and do my job, and hopefully we change the atmosphere.”

The Jaguars are counting on Hunter to change everything about the franchise — beginning on both sides of the ball.

“He embodies belief,” Gladstone said. “He’s a rare person. He’s a rare player. But he’s also a reminder that the boundaries of the game of football were built to be challenged.

“So, the decision to select him was actually a statement, a statement for how we plan to move, who we are, and we want him to be nothing more than him because, when he is, he elevates the space around him — from the football field to the city to the game of football itself.”

Hunter was expected to get both offensive and defensive playbooks during his initial visit. The Jaguars expect him to start mostly at receiver during rookie minicamp next month while slowly getting more and more work on defense.

Eventually, though, they plan to have him playing a similar number of snaps on both sides.

“We know that he’s going to be able to do both. We feel that in our bones,” coach Liam Coen said. “We have to have the ability to be agile and be fluid on specific days. If we don’t feel like he got enough work on one side of the ball the previous day, then we need to be able to move forward and get him those reps the next day. …

“How is this thing going to work? What do we want this to look like? We want it to look like what it looked like at Colorado, and that would be pretty good for us.”

Hunter played a whopping 1,461 snaps last season at Colorado, according to Pro Football Focus. Buffs coach Deion Sanders, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and the last NFL player to play significant snaps on both sides of the ball, allowed Hunter to take several days off after games to recuperate. The Jaguars have already discussed providing him similar rest.

Hunter will wear his usual No. 12 with Jacksonville, and he was given an official Jaguars jersey during his intro Friday. He playfully pulled it away from Hall of Famer Tony Boselli, the team’s executive vice president, and then grinned ear to ear when Gladstone said, “He’s got a smile that will light up a room.”

“Yeah, there it is. Let it shine,” the GM added.

He shared the stage with the mayor at one point and then flashed the Heisman pose. He eventually left — with the football.

“I don’t think anything comes easy to me,” Hunter said. "I got to work for it. I had to work to play both sides of the ball, even being with Coach Prime. You all just happened to see the perfect end, but I did a lot of work to get to where I’m at.

"So, I’m going to continue to put in the work, continue to grind and I’m going to just continue to do what I do.”

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The 2025 NFL draft was held Thursday-Saturday in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Jacksonville Jaguars traded up to No. 2 in the first round to take two-way player Travis Hunter. Let's take a look at each of their selections:

Analysis of every pick | Updated depth chart

Round 1, No. 2: Travis Hunter, WR/DB, Colorado

My take: First-time GM James Gladstone admitted his first pick would set the tone for his tenure, and it's hard to get more bold than trading up three spots -- and giving up next year's first-round pick as part of the deal -- and drafting the player who many believe was the best in the draft. And Gladstone upped things even more when he said Hunter has the ability to alter a football team -- and the sport.

Key stat: Hunter averaged 113.9 snaps per game last season and he had nine games in his Colorado career in which he played 120 or more snaps. No other player has had a game in which they've played 120 or more snaps over the past five years. The Jaguars plan to start Hunter on offense and give him a package on defense that would expand as he grows more comfortable. Hunter spoke with offensive coordinator Grant Udinski and defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile for a few moments on the phone after the Jaguars picked him.

Will he start as a rookie? Almost certainly on offense, but what still has to be worked out is how much time he'll spend on defense. Head coach Liam Coen said the team has had discussions with the training staff, among others, to make sure he can handle the workload. But there is a plan in place, though Coen said it's important the Jaguars remain fluid with it and be willing to adjust.

Round 3, No. 88: Caleb Ransaw, CB, Tulane

My take: The Jaguars had the worst pass defense in the NFL in 2024 (4,375 yards allowed, the worst mark in franchise history) and also were last in yards per attempt allowed (7.9) and 20-plus plays allowed (71). While the pass rush played a role in that, the secondary play was a major issue. Hunter will help and the Jaguars signed a pair of veterans in slot corner Jourdan Lewis and safety Eric Murray, but they're short-term solutions. Ransaw can be part of the unit rebuild and the Jaguars see him as a core special teamer. He'll start out at safety but the Jaguars are willing to move him around if needed.

What we're hearing about Ransaw: GM James Gladstone really liked how physical the 6-foot, 196-pound Ransaw plays and praised his ability as a tackler. Ransaw had 114 tackles in four years, including 51 at Troy. "What stands out is his tackle ratio," Gladstone said. "The root word of the position safety is safe. And he's somebody that can make sure that when there is someone who gets loose, he can get him down."

Round 3, No. 89: Wyatt Milum, G, West Virginia

My take: Addressing the offensive line was a priority this offseason, and it started in free agency with four signings (right guard Patrick Mekari and center Robert Hainsey will be starters). The 6-foot-6, 317-pound Milum played tackle all four years at West Virginia but will play guard for the Jaguars. He'll be immediate competition for left guard Ezra Cleveland.

Milum is a little taller than what you'd traditionally see out of a guard but the Jaguars have no reservations about the transition of him moving inside after watching him work at guard at the Senior Bowl. While he will start at guard, Gladstone said the Jaguars like the fact that he has the versatility to play tackle if needed.

What they're saying about Milum: Even if he doesn't win a starting job at left guard the Jaguars view Milum as a key addition because of his versatility to help offset injuries at multiple spots.

"You can never have enough security across the offensive line," GM James Gladstone said. "The depth there is important. I've been a part of scenarios where attrition has occurred and it typically does throughout an NFL season in particular across the offensive line. And it can be debilitating for an offense. That's something that I don't want to put us at risk for knowing just how important that is. And so continuing to build the depth across that group is something we're prioritizing."

Round 4, No. 104 (via CLE): Bhayshul Tuten, RB, VIrginia Tech

My take: Tuten was productive as a back and kick returner at Virginia Tech the past two seasons, producing 2,963 all-purpose yards over the past two seasons. He had two kickoff returns for touchdowns in 2023, and that's likely where he'll have the best chance to make an impact with the Jaguars. That puts Keilan Robinson, the team's fifth-round pick last season who was taken mainly because of his kick return abilities, in jeopardy. Tuten was the fastest running back at the combine (4.32 in the 40-yard dash). Travis Etienne Jr. is playing on the fifth-year option, so Tuten could be in line for a bigger role in 2026.

Round 4, No. 107: Jack Kiser, LB, Notre Dame

My take: Kiser, who had a career-high 90 tackles last season and leaves Notre Dame as the school's all-time leader in games played, is regarded as an outstanding special teams player and that's likely where he'll get a chance to make an impact early in his rookie season. Linebacker Chad Muma has been in a similar role over the past three seasons, and Kiser could be Muma's eventual replacement.

Round 6, No. 194: Jalen McLeod, LB, Auburn

My take: McLeod played multiple linebacker spots at Auburn but projects as more of an edge defender in the NFL. He finished with 22.5 sacks in his five-year career (three at Appalachian State and two at Auburn), including eight last season. The Jaguars haven't had a solid third edge rusher since Arden Key left following the 2022 season, which has resulted in a significant dropoff whenever Josh Hines-Allen and/or Travon Walker have been off the field. McLeod will get a chance to fill that role.

Round 6, No. 200: Rayuan Lane III, S, Navy

My take: Lane described himself as a special teams warrior during an interview with Glenn Clark radio and that's the role he'll have with the Jaguars if he's able to make the roster. He was a gunner in punt coverage at Navy, where he played in 49 games in his career. He also was a solid safety, making 244 tackles, breaking up 21 passes and intercepting seven passes. His eight forced fumbles are the most by any defensive back in the country in the past four seasons.

Round 7, No. 221: Jonah Monheim, OL, USC

My take: Monheim started 12 games at center last season but has also started games at right tackle (18), left tackle (12), and right guard (four). So he continues the trend of the Jaguars taking linemen with positional versatility. The Jaguars brought in Robert Hainsey in free agency. Backup Luke Fortner is in the final year of his contract. Fortner started every game in 2022-2023 but struggled in 2023 and got benched for free agent Mitch Morse last season. Morse retired and Hainsey will be the starter so there's an opportunity for Monheim to win the backup job.

Round 7, No. 190: LeQuint Allen, RB, Syracuse

My take: Allen is set Syracuse single-season records for receptions (64) and receiving yards (521) by a running back in 2024. Those 64 catches also led all FBS running backs. He's also a good blocker in both the pass and run game: Per ESPN Research he had only one blown block in 414 total blocking plays during his college career. Pass protection from the backs has been an issue for the Jaguars the past several seasons.
