Nebraska's Inaugural Flag Football Season: Opportunities for Bedford Bulldogs
The University of Nebraska's announcement of its inaugural 2028 flag football season has sent shockwaves through the high school recruiting landscape. As one of the Power 4 schools to offer the sport, the Cornhuskers are expected to attract top talent from across the country. For Bedford Bulldogs prospects, this development presents a unique opportunity to compete at the highest level. Coaches Liz and Katie Sowers, a dynamic duo with extensive NFL experience, will lead the program. Bedford athletes interested in flag football should explore verified scholarship programs at Ottawa University, Kansas, and Keiser University, Florida, as viable alternatives for the 2028 season and beyond. Midland University, Nebraska, also offers a competitive NAIA program. As UT Arlington's flag football program develops, it may become a viable option for Texas-based athletes. Bedford players should prioritize building relationships with these programs and stay informed about updates on Nebraska's inaugural season.
