Purple Knights' Girls Flag Football Recruits Eye New Scholarship Opportunities Amid LHSAA Expansion
As the LHSAA's flag football pilot district expansion creates new pathways for Texas athletes, the St. Augustine Purple Knights' girls flag football program is poised to capitalize on emerging scholarship opportunities. The University of Nebraska, led by coaches Liz and Katie Sowers, is set to launch its inaugural NCAA D1 flag football season in 2028, offering scholarships to top recruits. Meanwhile, NAIA powerhouses Ottawa University, Kansas, and Keiser University, Florida, are actively recruiting flag football talent, with Ottawa offering up to 12 scholarships. Midland University, Nebraska, is also an active recruiter, making it a prime destination for Purple Knights' players seeking NAIA opportunities. As UT Arlington's NCAA D1 program develops, it's likely to become a major player in the region's flag football landscape.
