On Monday, the PNJ released a list of 16 area Florida High School Athletic Association flag football players to watch for during the 2025 season.
You’ll notice we didn’t rank them. That’s where flag football fans come in. The PNJ sports staff has narrowed down the list.

Cast your vote in the poll below. Voting for the area’s Preseason Boys Flag Football Player of the Year will close on Tuesday, Feb. 18, at 12 p.m.
