Lakeland Dreadnaughts' Rising Star Draws Attention from Nebraska, NAIA Powerhouses

Lakeland Dreadnaughts' standout flag football prospect, 17-year-old Emily Wilson, has garnered interest from the University of Nebraska's inaugural 2028 season program, led by coaches Liz and Katie Sowers, as well as Ottawa University, Kansas, a national powerhouse with up to 12 NAIA scholarships available. Keiser University, Florida, and Midland University, Nebraska, have also taken notice of Wilson's skills, with both institutions actively recruiting top talent. While UT Arlington is developing its NCAA D1 program, it has not yet begun offering scholarships. As Wilson prepares for the 2026 season, she should focus on creating a highlight tape and researching verified scholarship pathways to maximize her recruitment opportunities.
