Nebraska's Inaugural Flag Football Season: A New Path for Florissant Prospects
The University of Nebraska's announcement of its inaugural 2028 flag football season has sent shockwaves throughout the nation, and Missouri high school athletes are taking notice. For Hazelwood Central Hawks prospects, this means a new opportunity to compete at the NCAA Division 1 level. Coaches Liz and Katie Sowers are building a powerhouse program, and the team will offer up to 12 scholarships. For Florissant-based athletes, this presents a clear pathway to securing a scholarship. Ottawa University, Kansas, also offers up to 12 scholarships, while Keiser University, Florida, and Midland University, Nebraska, are active recruiters. UT Arlington is developing its program, but scholarships have not been announced. Hawks prospects can start preparing by attending summer camps and reaching out to coaches at these institutions.
