Detroit King Flag Football Prospect Draws Interest from Nebraska, NAIA Programs
Detroit King Crusaders' standout flag football player, sophomore wide receiver Maya Johnson, is drawing attention from top collegiate programs. The University of Nebraska, led by coaches Liz and Katie Sowers, has reached out to Johnson's coach, expressing interest in her potential to join the inaugural 2028 season's roster. Additionally, Ottawa University, Kansas, and Keiser University, Florida, have also initiated contact. Midland University, Nebraska, is keeping a close eye on Johnson's progress. While UT Arlington is developing its program, it has not yet begun offering scholarships. Johnson's coach advises her to focus on maintaining a strong academic record and to research each program's specific requirements. Johnson's recruitment is a testament to the growing popularity of girls' flag football in Michigan.
