Mandan Braves Flag Football Seniors Eye New Scholarship Opportunities Amid NDHSAA Pilot Expansion

With the University of Nebraska set to launch its inaugural NCAA Division I flag football program in 2028, coached by Liz and Katie Sowers, local talent is eyeing the Cornhuskers' Power 4 program. Meanwhile, nearby NAIA schools Ottawa University, Kansas, Keiser University, Florida, and Midland University, Nebraska, are actively recruiting flag football players. Seniors from the Mandan Braves can explore these verified scholarship pathways by attending summer camps and reaching out to coaches directly.
