Nebraska's Inaugural Flag Football Season Sparks Hope for West Des Moines Valley Prospects
The University of Nebraska's announcement of its inaugural 2028 flag football season has sent shockwaves throughout the Midwest, particularly in the state of Iowa. As the Big Ten conference prepares to welcome its first women's flag football team, prospects from the West Des Moines Valley Tigers are taking notice. With Power 4 status comes significant attention from top programs, including Ottawa University, Kansas, which offers up to 12 NAIA scholarships. Keiser University, Florida, and Midland University, Nebraska, are also active recruiters in the region. For West Des Moines Valley athletes, this means a prime opportunity to showcase their skills and potentially secure a spot on a top-tier roster. As the 2027-2028 recruitment cycle heats up, Valley players would be wise to create highlight tapes and reach out to these programs to discuss potential scholarship pathways.
