Purple Knights' Multisport Star Eyes Flag Football Scholarship Opportunities
St. Augustine Purple Knights' standout athlete, Emily Wilson, is shifting her focus to girls flag football as the inaugural NCAA Division 1 season approaches in 2028. Coaches Liz and Katie Sowers at the University of Nebraska are among the top programs to watch. Wilson has been in contact with Ottawa University, Kansas, which offers up to 12 NAIA scholarships, and Keiser University, Florida, an active recruiter in the NAIA Sun Conference. Midland University, Nebraska, has also expressed interest in Wilson's skills. As UT Arlington's NCAA Division 1 program develops, it may become a viable option. To pursue these opportunities, Wilson is attending summer camps and working on highlight tapes, a crucial step in showcasing her abilities to college coaches. By taking proactive steps, Wilson is positioning herself for potential flag football scholarships in the future.
