Oscar Smith Tigers' Multisport Athletes Eye Flag Football Scholarships
As the 2026-27 school year approaches, multisport female athletes from the Oscar Smith Tigers, a 6A powerhouse in Chesapeake, are turning their attention to flag football. With the University of Nebraska's inaugural 2028 season on the horizon, led by coaches Liz and Katie Sowers, local athletes are exploring scholarship opportunities in the sport. Ottawa University, Kansas, and Keiser University, Florida, are also actively recruiting flag football talent. Midland University, Nebraska, has a proven track record of developing its players. For those interested in flag football, UT Arlington's developing program may offer a pathway in the future. To increase their chances of securing a scholarship, athletes should focus on building their skills through summer camps and highlight tapes, and research the NCAA and NAIA eligibility requirements.
