SAN FRANCISCO – Two young people who have excelled on the field of American football and flag football, but who above all have demonstrated true leadership on and off the field, received the NFL Latino Youth Honors national award.

In a ceremony conducted by International flag football star Diana Flores of Mexico announced that Edward Jordan, from Jacksonville, and Isabella Jubrey, from Windsor, Connecticut, are this year's winners. They and the other Latino Youth Honors finalists have been participating in Super Bowl LX-related activities all week. “Eddie and Isa represent the best of our sport and our community,” said Marissa Solis, NFL Vice President of Global Brand, in a statement. “Their dedication as student-athletes and leaders reflects the power of opportunity and the promise of Latino youth.” The Latino Youth Honors are presented by the NFL, Procter & Gamble, and the Hispanic Heritage Foundation. Edward Jordan dreams of succeeding and helping his family. Edward Jordan IV, from Beachside High School in Jacksonville and nominated by the Jaguars, is a talented quarterback with a 3.94 GPA. His mother emigrated from Cuba when she was a baby, and that's something the young athlete always keeps in mind. "Being able to be here because of my mom... My mom came here as a little girl on a boat from Cuba. It's the culture I'm rooted in, so it's a blessing to be here surrounded by people I know, people I admire. It's an incredible feeling," Jordan said this week on the NFL Honors red carpet. “I just dream of being able to help my family… help them retire, play football at the highest level, and have fun doing it,” the young man, who plans to continue his path as a student-athlete at Lafayette College (Division I), revealed to La Opinion. Eddie contributes to his community by mentoring young people through clinics, training sessions, and summer camps. In addition to helping maintain the field at her school, she added, “I feel like I can use this platform to empower others like me, people who look like me, and people I care about.” Isabella Jubrey thanks her family and takes on greater responsibility.Isabella Jubrey, nominated by the NY Giants, comes from Northwest Catholic High School in Windsor, Connecticut, where she has a 3.75 GPA while playing quarterback, linebacker, and cornerback on the flag football team, which she has led to four undefeated regular seasons. “It feels incredible, and I'm so grateful to have won this award,” said the young woman of Dominican descent. "This has been an incredible experience, and I've met so many great people. Winning this award is special to me, but it also means I now have a lot more responsibility. I know I can be a role model for young Latinas, and I really need to prove it." Jubrey, in addition to his athletic and academic efforts, has helped create youth flag football leagues in his community and participates as a referee in games. "The road has definitely been very long. I started playing in 2018, and it's been a lot of work and a lot of support from my family," the young woman told La Opinion on the NFL Honors red carpet. “It means a lot to be able to show what my family has given me because I know I'm the one walking this path, but they've done so much to make it happen.” The other finalists will receive $5,000 in support. This year's Latino Youth Honors finalists were Tatiana Gonzalez from Frederick, Maryland; Jasen Lopez from Hollywood, Florida; Oscar Rios from Downey, California; Alayna Adamez from Cottage Grove, Minnesota; Will Berry from New Oleans, Louisiana; and Alissa Escutia from Salinas, California.
