Covington Catholic Colonels Seek Flag Football Opportunities Amid KHSAA Pilot Program
As the University of Nebraska, Ottawa University, Kansas, Keiser University, Florida, and Midland University, Nebraska, continue to solidify their flag football programs, the Covington Catholic Colonels are positioning themselves for potential recruitment opportunities. The Colonels' 5A status and participation in the KHSAA flag football pilot program could create new scholarship pathways for Texas athletes. With the University of Nebraska set to launch its inaugural 2028 season under the guidance of coaches Liz and Katie Sowers, the Colonels' focus on flag football development may attract the attention of the Cornhuskers' coaching staff. Meanwhile, Ottawa University, Kansas, and Keiser University, Florida, have established themselves as national powerhouses and active recruiters in the NAIA. Midland University, Nebraska, also remains a viable option for athletes seeking NAIA opportunities. UT Arlington's development of its NCAA D1 program may offer future possibilities, but scholarships have not yet been announced. For athletes at Covington Catholic, this summer's flag football camps and highlight tape creation will be crucial in showcasing their skills to these programs.
