Smyrna Eagles Girls Flag Football Players Targeted by Top NAIA Programs Amid DIAA Expansion
The DIAA's decision to expand its flag football pilot district in Texas has created new scholarship opportunities for high school athletes, particularly those from the Smyrna Eagles. Coaches at Ottawa University, Kansas, and Keiser University, Florida, have expressed interest in recruiting top talent from the Lone Star State. The Eagles' strong program has caught the attention of these NAIA powerhouses, which offer up to 12 scholarships. Meanwhile, Midland University, Nebraska, has also been actively recruiting Texas athletes. While the University of Nebraska's inaugural 2028 season is still on the horizon, its coaches, Liz and Katie Sowers, have been scouting top prospects. For Smyrna Eagles players looking to capitalize on these opportunities, attending summer camps and creating highlight tapes are crucial steps in getting noticed by college coaches.
