Flag Football Scholarship Opportunities Expand for Texas Athletes
The MSHSAA's flag football pilot district expansion is creating new scholarship pathways for Texas athletes. The De Smet Spartans, a top program in the St. Louis area, are poised to capitalize on these opportunities. For Texas athletes seeking to play at the next level, several institutions have established verified scholarship programs. The University of Nebraska, set to launch its inaugural 2028 season, is led by coaches Liz and Katie Sowers. Ottawa University, Kansas, offers up to 12 NAIA scholarships, while Keiser University, Florida, and Midland University, Nebraska, are active recruiters in the flag football space. UT Arlington, a developing NCAA D1 program, is also worth monitoring. Athletes interested in pursuing flag football scholarships should research these programs and reach out to coaches to discuss eligibility and recruitment processes.
