Bellevue West Standout Eyes College Flag Football Opportunities
As the inaugural 2028 season approaches, the University of Nebraska, led by coaches Liz and Katie Sowers, is poised to become a flagship program for NCAA Division 1 flag football. The Bellevue West Thunderbirds' standout multisport athlete is considering a pivot to flag football, driven by the potential for scholarship opportunities at the Power 4 school. Other NAIA options, including Ottawa University, Kansas, with up to 12 scholarships, and Keiser University, Florida, an active recruiter, also offer viable pathways. Midland University, Nebraska, is another NAIA program actively recruiting flag football talent. While UT Arlington is developing its NCAA Division 1 program, it has not yet begun offering scholarships. For athletes like the Bellevue West standout, summer camps and highlight tapes can help showcase skills and increase visibility for college recruiters.
