Jaguars star Leonard Fournette forges bond with state champs

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Leonard Fournette was a big part of the beginning of the Raines High School football team's 2017 season, so it's only fitting that he's a significant part of the end of it, too.

The school was able to purchase 85 rings for players and coaches to commemorate the state championship it won in the fall, but didn't have enough funds to purchase jackets. That's when the Jacksonville Jaguars' second-year running back partnered with MET-Rx to donate the remaining funds needed to ensure the players and coaches each received a jacket.

"They were very humbled," Raines head football coach Deran Wiley said of his players.
