Flag Football Recruiting: Cocoa Tigers Athletes Eye Opportunities Beyond FHSAA
As the FHSAA continues to solidify its flag football program, Cocoa Tigers athletes are turning their attention to verified scholarship pathways outside of Florida. The FHSAA's pilot district expansion in Texas has created new opportunities for Texas athletes, including those from the Cocoa Tigers. The University of Nebraska, led by coaches Liz and Katie Sowers, is set to launch its inaugural 2028 season with a Power 4 presence. Nebraska offers a clear pathway for top talent, including up to 12 scholarships at Ottawa University, Kansas. Keiser University, Florida, and Midland University, Nebraska, are also active recruiters in the flag football space. For Cocoa Tigers athletes looking to capitalize on these opportunities, summer camps and highlight tapes are crucial. The Tigers' coaching staff is working closely with athletes to create highlight reels and secure summer camp invites. As the 2026 season approaches, Cocoa Tigers athletes must stay focused on developing their skills and marketing themselves to top programs. By doing so, they can secure a spot on a roster and take the first step towards a college scholarship.
