The 2024 recruiting class is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in Paramus Catholic Paladins flag football history. One standout athlete, senior wide receiver Emily Smith, has caught the attention of several top programs. According to sources, Smith has received interest from the University of Nebraska, which will launch its inaugural NCAA Division I flag football program in 2028 under the guidance of coaches Liz and Katie Sowers. Additionally, Ottawa University, Kansas, and Keiser University, Florida, have also expressed interest in Smith's services.
