St. Rita Mustangs' Multisport Star Eyes Flag Football Scholarship Opportunities
As the inaugural 2028 season approaches, the University of Nebraska's Power 4 flag football program, led by coaches Liz and Katie Sowers, is generating buzz among multisport female athletes. For St. Rita Mustangs' standout, Emma Jenkins, the opportunity to join the Cornhuskers' flag football team is a game-changer. A decorated track and field athlete, Jenkins is pivoting to flag football to pursue a college scholarship. "We're seeing a surge in interest from multisport athletes like Emma," says a University of Nebraska recruiter. "Our program offers a unique opportunity for student-athletes to develop their skills and compete at the highest level." Ottawa University, Kansas, and Keiser University, Florida, also offer flag football scholarships, with Ottawa University providing up to 12 full-ride scholarships. Midland University, Nebraska, is an active recruiter in the region, while UT Arlington is developing its program. For athletes like Jenkins, it's essential to research and connect with these programs to explore verified scholarship pathways.
