She played basketball before switching over to flag football, while being dedicated to her family. Bryan cited Kobe Bryant as an inspiration for her own mentality when she's playing for Team USA. She is also excited for the opportunity to be part of the national team when flag football debuts at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
London Jenkins Chats About Her Early Days at Nebraska
London Jenkins transferred to the University of Nebraska earlier this summer after two years with the NJCAA's Florida Gateway College. Jenkins had some concerns about moving from Florida to Lincoln, but has noted the support of the coaches and community early on. Jenkins started as a basketball player until 11th grade, but moved to flag football her senior year after urging from a teammate. She notes that flag football has been more fun than basketball, which led her to choose flag and play at FGC.
Jenkins is hoping to represent Team USA for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, mentioning that the competition at Nebraska motivates her further. Jenkins provided advice for US Trial hopefuls as well: use the offseason to hone versatility at different positions. She is also keenly aware of her responsibility as a role model to younger athletes, and to help continue growing the sport. Check out the full 16-minute interview with Huskers Radio Network here.

World Flag Series Champs Repeat
H.E.R. (Hustle Every Rep) repeated as World Flag Series champions at WFS2, but it was far from an easy road. The debutants, Midnight Ballers, went 2-0 in pool play to secure an automatic spot in the championship game. Meanwhile, the defending champs went 0-2 in pool play with consecutive 20-7 losses to Midnight Ballers and Glitter Bombs.
H.E.R. and Glitter Bombs had an immediate rematch in the semifinals, with the entertaining match going down to the wire. Tori Brito's third touchdown of the game put H.E.R. up 27-20, but Glitter Bombs had one final chance from the 11-yard line. Lacey Abell couldn't get the pass away before the flag pull, which put the defending champs back in the championship game.
In the final, Midnight Ballers scored the first half's lone touchdown on Lucie Vinot's 7-yard catch-and-run. H.E.R. responded in the second half with a double pass to Silvana Munoz to tie the game at 7. Gisell Barba made a flag pull on fourth down to the ball back for H.E.R., which would prove to be the decisive drive. At the three-yard line, Haylie Young found an open Olivia Ghosh-Swaby for the 14-7 victory.
