How to Get Recruited

1Build a highlight reel of your best plays — route running, touchdowns, defensive stops. Upload to Hudl and YouTube.
2Email coaches directly with your grad year, GPA, position, and Hudl link. Nebraska, Ottawa, Keiser, and Midland are all actively recruiting.
3Attend summer camps hosted by NAIA and emerging D1 programs. Ottawa and Keiser run open camps with scholarship evaluations.
4Post consistently on social media — college coaches are actively scouting Instagram and TikTok for flag talent right now.
5Contact your state athletic association about official varsity pilot districts — being in a sanctioned program makes you visible to scouts.
📈 Why Now

The Scholarship Window is Open

Major programs are building from the ground up, led by the University of Nebraska as the first Power 4 school to open a full D1 scholarship roster — hiring Ottawa coaches Liz and Katie Sowers for their inaugural 2028 season.

A talented sophomore in Texas right now has a genuine shot at a D1 or top NAIA scholarship that simply would not be available in older, overcrowded sports. The athletes who act now capture the first wave of historic offers.
