The time as come again to recognize some of the best football athletes in Northeast Florida. These student athletes have displayed incredible sportsmanship and athletic ability on the gridiron, which has set them apart from everyone else. They not only are the best at their position as voted on by their fellow teammates, coaches, and media, but they are outstanding student athletes. We recognize honor the 2021 Duval Sports Middle School Top 50 athletes.

Each athlete gets recognized by the Jacksonville Jaguar foundation and is awarded a medal for their hard work and dedication toward the season. Top 50 athletes have gone on to be highly recruited in college at every position and it started right here as a Duval Sports Top 50 athlete! This year might be the best yet to come, as two athletes from the 8th grade already have secured D1 scholarship football offers. The first time that’s happened in history of the the event. Congratulations to the student athletes.
