Mayor Jane Castor is set to present a Key to the City to Isaiah Rodgers, a Tampa native and member of the 2025 Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Championship team. The ceremony will take place on Friday at 4:30 pm at the Hanna Ave City Center.

Rodgers, who graduated from Blake High School in Tampa in 2016, played college football for the University of Massachusetts. He was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in 2020 and later joined the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023, contributing to their recent Super Bowl victory.

The event will feature appearances by Blake High School cheerleaders. Isaiah Rodgers will be present to receive this honor.

“Isaiah has not only made our city proud but has shown the world what it means to be a true Tampa success story,” said Mayor Jane Castor. “We are thrilled to recognize him as a hometown hero and are excited to give him the key to the city as a symbol of our gratitude for all he has achieved and the inspiration he provides to young people in Tampa who hope to follow in his footsteps.”

Media outlets have been invited to attend Friday’s ceremony with RSVPs requested via media@tampagov.net.
