Saint Leo Athletics is proud to present the Jimmy John’s Lion of the Week award, a new weekly honor recognizing one male and one female student-athlete for their outstanding performances and contributions to the Green & Gold.
The award will spotlight Lions who excel in competition, demonstrate leadership, and help propel their teams forward. Each week, Saint Leo will highlight two deserving student-athletes whose efforts stand out among their peers.
For the 2025–26 season, Saint Leo University Athletics is excited to partner with Jimmy John’s to celebrate the hard work and dedication of its student-athletes.
Since its founding in 1983 in Charleston, Illinois, Jimmy John’s has grown from a single sandwich shop into a nationally recognized brand, known for its “Freaky Fast” delivery and fresh baked bread. Today, the chain boasts more than 2,600 locations across the United States and internationally, with restaurants in Seoul, Toronto, and Dubai. Jimmy John’s became part of Inspire Brands in 2019, joining a portfolio that also includes Arby’s, Dunkin’ Donuts, and other household names.
Stay tuned each week to see which Lions are recognized as the Jimmy John’s Lion of the Week.
