Weddington's Flag Football Star Draws Interest from Nebraska and NAIA Powerhouses
Local standout Emily Wilson, a rising junior on the Weddington Warriors flag football team, has garnered attention from top programs in the nation. The University of Nebraska, led by coaches Liz and Katie Sowers, has expressed interest in Wilson's skills, while Ottawa University, Kansas, and Keiser University, Florida, have also reached out. Midland University, Nebraska, is another NAIA program actively recruiting Wilson. As Wilson prepares for her junior season, she can focus on improving her game and maintaining eligibility for potential scholarship opportunities. Wilson's family is advised to research and reach out to these programs directly to discuss verified scholarship pathways. With the inaugural NCAA D1 flag football season set for 2028, Wilson's recruitment is a prime example of the growing interest in the sport.
