Former Miami Northwestern head coach and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was a familiar face at the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) Class 3A state title game between Northwestern and Raines. Despite being suspended by the school for the 2025-26 year due to allegations of providing impermissible benefits to his players, Bridgewater made an appearance to support his alma mater. This isn't the first time he's shown his dedication to the team; he was also present for Northwestern's playoff win over Orlando Bishop Moore, celebrating with high-fives for the players. Bridgewater's impact on Miami Northwestern was significant, leading the Bulls to their first state title since 2019 and guiding the program to the FHSAA Class 3A title. The team finished the 2024 season with a 12-2 record and ranked No. 6 in Florida, according to the Rivals Composite High School Team Rankings.
