If she accepts it, she would become the first female non-kicker on scholarship.

The 5-foot-7, 164-pound Harris, who missed the first part of the 2017 season because of health reasons, indicated she wants to play a full season at East Los Angeles in 2018 before deciding her next step. ...
"I can play at Bethany, so I can leave," she said. "But I think I would want to finish off my sophomore year. A lot of other schools are interested. The offers are going to be rolling in. My ultimate goal is to excel at a four-year [university] and become the first female NFL player. I know I can get there."


At least she dreams big

That team used to be known as the Terrible Swedes. Now they are just the Swedes. I preferred the original moniker.

Good for her. Hopefully it's not just a publicity stunt, but if she can do it, she should go for it. Not sure the NFL is in the cards though based on her size.

It is probably more of a publicity stunt, but good for her. But if she really thinks she can make the NFL, she needs her head examined.
