Westlake Chaparrals' Emerging Talent Eyes College Flag Football Opportunities
As the inaugural 2028 season approaches, the University of Nebraska is at the forefront of NCAA Division 1 flag football, led by coaches Liz and Katie Sowers. The Cornhuskers' program is a prime destination for multisport female athletes like Westlake Chaparrals' standout, Emma Johnson. With a strong background in track and field, Johnson is now focusing on flag football to capitalize on the growing college scholarship opportunities. Ottawa University, Kansas, and Keiser University, Florida, also offer NAIA flag football scholarships, with Ottawa University offering up to 12. Midland University, Nebraska, is an active recruiter in the region. UT Arlington, a developing NCAA Division 1 program, is also worth monitoring. For athletes like Johnson, now is the time to create highlight tapes and connect with coaches to increase their chances of securing a college flag football scholarship.
