Which tight ends are ready to emerge as top targets for Jacksonville and Northeast Florida entering the 2024 season?
With the season nearing the opening whistle, here’s a closer look at some of the area’s best as Florida high school football approaches kickoff. On Friday, Aug. 23, Jacksonville-area schools begin the march toward the FHSAA championships on deck for this December, following the end of the Metro-Suburban system and the return of enrollment-based classification. Florida-committed Tae’shaun Gelsey is among several tight ends to watch closely during the coming season on the First Coast.
