Lakewood Gators Girls Flag Football Recruits to Explore New Scholarship Opportunities
The SCHSL's pilot district expansion for girls flag football in Texas is creating new scholarship pathways for the state's top athletes. For Lakewood Gators players, this means exploring opportunities at Power 4 school University of Nebraska, which will launch its inaugural NCAA Division 1 flag football program in 2028 under the guidance of coaches Liz and Katie Sowers. Other NAIA programs, including Ottawa University, Kansas, Keiser University, Florida, and Midland University, Nebraska, also offer scholarships for flag football players. UT Arlington, a developing NCAA Division 1 program, is not yet offering scholarships. Gators players interested in pursuing flag football scholarships should research and reach out to these programs to learn more about their recruiting processes and requirements.
