Nebraska's Flag Football Inaugural Season: A New Path for Xaverian Brothers Hawks
As the University of Nebraska prepares to launch its NCAA Division 1 flag football program in 2028, prospects from the Xaverian Brothers Hawks, a Division 1 school in Westwood, Massachusetts, are taking notice. Coaches Liz and Katie Sowers, a dynamic duo with NFL experience, will lead the Cornhuskers' inaugural season. For talented flag football players from the Hawks, this development presents a new scholarship pathway. Ottawa University, Kansas, a national powerhouse with up to 12 NAIA scholarships, remains a top option. Keiser University, Florida, and Midland University, Nebraska, are also active recruiters. Student-athletes looking to capitalize on these opportunities should focus on building relationships with college coaches and creating highlight tapes showcasing their skills. With Nebraska's program set to debut in 2028, the Hawks' top performers will have a chance to make a lasting impression on the national stage.
