East L.A. College Football Player Who Aspires to Become 1st Woman in NFL Stars in Super Bowl Ad

The defensive back has been integral to ELAC’s success since joining the team in 2017, Head Football Coach Bobby Godinez said in a news release from the school.

Last year, Harris tweeted that she had been offered a scholarship by Bethany College, a Division III team in West Virginia. Adams State University, Graceland University and Kentucky Christian University have also made offers, according to Sports Illustrated.
This is ridiculous. She will get killed playing college ball, and no woman will ever play in the NFL.

Can't believe these schools are offering her a scholarship. What a waste of a scholarship. Does she even get any playing time now?

There are many high schools better than the best D3 team. She is nothing more than a prop.

Having watched my share of cornerbacks try to tackle I'm sure she'll be able to keep up with them.

Holder is probably the only position a woman would stand a chance at playing in college or the NFL.

Some girl got a scholarship out of high school to be a kicker for a D-III school. I think a kicker or punter is about the only chance a woman has at making it to the NFL. Even a kicker, I doubt they could consistently hit a 50 yrd field goal.

She seems to be marketing herself quite well

Good for her

She will get her head ripped off a few times and look stupid.

Of course, this will offer ammo to the SJWs about the NFL being toxic masculinity which could be fun in its own right

I can imagine some of the walk-ons at the schools that offered her scholarships are pretty pissed at this publicity stunt. I'm sure there are countless other kids more worthy of a scholarship than her.

Deion Sanders had a hall of fame career playing touch football in the NFL. If she can run a 4.3 on wet grass in tennis shoes and cover (you know wideouts are going to like her playing close and tight), there's no reason she couldn't do the same in D-3. Have you seen that Andy Dick movie?

Let the girl have her aspirations she knows she will never play in the. More power to her that she found someone who paid her money to be in a super bowl commercial. While her dream won't happen she is actively trying to pursue it.

Division III schools don't have scholarships to give. They have ways to help academically but a scholarship is not possible to play football at the D-III level.
