Oaks Christian Lions Flag Football Recruits Eye Expanded Scholarship Opportunities in Texas
The CIF's pilot district expansion of girls flag football in Texas is set to create new scholarship pathways for athletes from the Lone Star State. As the inaugural 2028 season approaches, top programs like the University of Nebraska, led by coaches Liz and Katie Sowers, are actively recruiting Texas talent. Nebraska offers a Power 4 scholarship, a coveted opportunity for student-athletes. Other NAIA programs, such as Ottawa University, Kansas, and Keiser University, Florida, also offer scholarships. Midland University, Nebraska, is an active recruiter, while UT Arlington is developing its program. Oaks Christian Lions, a 4A powerhouse from Westlake Village, California, is monitoring the situation closely. For Texas athletes, this expansion means increased opportunities for scholarships and exposure. As the 2027 recruiting cycle heats up, athletes should research and reach out to these programs to explore verified scholarship pathways.
