Texas Flag Football Talent Sees New Scholarship Opportunities Amid NIAA Expansion
📍 Desert Pines Jaguars·Saturday, July 25, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The University of Nebraska's inaugural 2028 NCAA Division 1 flag football program, led by coaches Liz and Katie Sowers, is a prime destination for top Texas talent. As the NIAA expands its flag football pilot district, Desert Pines Jaguars athletes now have a clearer path to the Cornhuskers. Ottawa University, Kansas, also offers up to 12 NAIA scholarships, while Keiser University, Florida, and Midland University, Nebraska, actively recruit flag football players. UT Arlington's developing NCAA Division 1 program, though not yet offering scholarships, provides a potential future option. Texas athletes should explore these verified scholarship pathways and consider attending summer camps to increase their visibility.
