Jacksonville Jaguars’ Pro Bowl DE Josh Allen gives shoutout to Atlantic Coast’s Gaby Rourke

It’s not everyday that an NFL Pro Bowler gives a high school athlete a shoutout.
That was the case for Atlantic Coast wide receiver Gaby Rourke, who returns this spring as one of the top wide receivers in the entire state for girls flag football.
Rourke is certainly a known commodity in Jacksonville, Florida and that prompted Jacksonville Jaguars' Pro Bowl defensive end Josh Allen to give her shoutout over this past weekend's NFL Pro Bowl festivities.
Josh Allen was at the Pro Bowl this week and was asked about the growth of Flag football.

Allen is certainly a player that plays a big role not only throughout Duval County in the community, but also on the field as well. In 2023, the edge rusher tallied 66 total tackles and 17.5 sacks for the Jaguars.
A Kentucky signee for soccer, Rourke is without a doubt one of the best receivers not only in the state, but in the country. Rourke is a U.S. Army All-American, with the future Kentucky goalkeeper being named the MVP of the U.S. Army All-American Game.
