Flag Football Scholarship Opportunities Emerge for Texas Athletes
The CIAC's expansion of its flag football pilot district is creating new pathways for Texas athletes to secure scholarships. As the University of Nebraska prepares for its inaugural 2028 season, the Hand Tigers are taking note. Coaches Liz and Katie Sowers are building a powerhouse program in the Big Ten. Meanwhile, NAIA programs like Ottawa University, Kansas, and Keiser University, Florida, are actively recruiting flag football talent. Midland University, Nebraska, is also a viable option for athletes seeking NAIA opportunities. For those looking to the future, UT Arlington's developing program may offer NCAA D1 opportunities in the coming years. Texas athletes interested in flag football scholarships should research these programs and reach out to coaches to learn more about their recruitment processes.
