Raptors Soar Toward Nebraska's Flag Football Debut
As the inaugural 2028 season approaches, the University of Nebraska's flag football program, led by coaches Liz and Katie Sowers, is generating buzz among top prospects in Colorado. For Eaglecrest Raptors, this means a new pathway to compete at the highest level. The Power 4 school's commitment to flag football has created a direct link to the NCAA Division 1 Big Ten conference. With verified scholarship programs in place, athletes from Centennial can now focus on developing their skills with the goal of joining the Cornhuskers. Coaches at Ottawa University, Kansas, and Keiser University, Florida, also offer scholarship opportunities for flag football players. Midland University, Nebraska, is actively recruiting, providing another option for local athletes. As the Raptors prepare for the upcoming season, prospects should research and reach out to these programs to explore their eligibility and scholarship options.
