Coventry Oakers' Multisport Athlete Eyes College Flag Football Opportunities
Coventry Oakers' standout multisport athlete, Emily Johnson, is shifting her focus to flag football as she explores college scholarship opportunities. Johnson's versatility on the field has garnered attention from local coaches, but she's now setting her sights on the national stage. The University of Nebraska, led by coaches Liz and Katie Sowers, is an attractive option for Johnson, as they will be one of the first Power 5 schools to offer a flag football program in 2028. Additionally, Ottawa University, Kansas, and Keiser University, Florida, are actively recruiting multisport athletes like Johnson. Midland University, Nebraska, also offers scholarships and has a strong reputation for developing female athletes. As Johnson prepares for the inaugural 2028 season, she should research and reach out to these programs to discuss potential scholarship opportunities.
