Key Stats

Soph: 4,800 pass yds, 1,000 rush yds, 78 TDs | Jr: 5A State Champion, 4+ pass TDs every game, 7 TDs in playoff win

Elite Experience

HYPAELITE QB1 | Jr. Olympics Gold (Houston) | 3x National Champion (5v5, 7v7, FFL) | 2x AZ 5A State Champion (2023, 2025) | 57-0 state title game

Scouting Report

The consensus #1 player in women's flag football and it's not particularly close. Moreno followed her historic 78-TD sophomore campaign by leading Campo Verde to a second state championship in three years as a junior, capping a 57-0 title game demolition of Chaparral. She threw at least four touchdowns in every game she played. At the club level with HYPAELITE, she has won the Jr. Olympics Gold Medal, national championships in both 5v5 and 7v7, and the FFL Championship — dominating across formats and geographies. Her ability to process defenses pre-snap, work through progressions, and extend plays with her legs makes her the most complete quarterback in the sport. Four of her HYPAELITE teammates also landed in the MaxPreps Top 100, which speaks to how she elevates everyone around her. Campo Verde has gone 45-11 since flag football was sanctioned in Arizona in 2023, and Moreno is the reason why.

Nebraska (Power 4) — FIRST POWER 4 FLAG FOOTBALL OFFER IN HISTORY

Scouting Report

Cook's junior season cemented her as the most prolific passer in women's flag football: 7,083 yards and 112 touchdowns at a 74% clip, earning MaxPreps California Junior of the Year. But the headline is bigger than stats — Cook received a scholarship offer from Nebraska, delivered in person by head football coach Matt Rhule, making her the first female athlete to receive a Power 4 flag football offer in history. She came back from a broken leg suffered in February 2025 and threw four touchdowns in her first game back. On the national team circuit, she played wide receiver and safety for the USA 15U squad and was named MVP of the Junior International Cup — proving she's not just an arm but a legitimate two-way player. Her only losses came to undefeated, nationally-ranked #1 JSerra (0-3). Also a Georgia soccer commit, her dual-sport athleticism is rare. Career total: 209+ touchdowns in two seasons. The Nebraska offer changes everything — this is the player who will define what the recruiting pathway looks like for flag football.

Key Stats

49 INTs through first 2 years of high school | Shutdown coverage | Plays in competitive Southern CA

Elite Experience

Most prolific defensive player in national flag football history

Scouting Report

The biggest riser from MaxPreps (#54) to XR (#3) and the most dominant defensive player in women's flag football — and it may not be close. Forty-nine interceptions in two seasons is a number that may never be matched. To put it in context, most elite DBs in flag football record 10-15 INTs per season; Schmida averages nearly 25. She plays in Southern California's ultra-competitive landscape against programs like Orange Lutheran and JSerra. Her ball skills, closing speed, and ability to read quarterbacks' eyes are college-ready right now. If any defensive player in flag football gets the first defensive scholarship offer from a Power 4 school, it should be her.

Key Stats

Soph: 23 TDs receiving, 18 INTs on defense | Jr: Helped Campo Verde win 5A state title (57-0)

Elite Experience

HYPAELITE | Jr. Olympics Gold (Houston) | 3x National Champion | 2x AZ 5A State Champion

Scouting Report

The ideal two-way flag football player and arguably the best non-QB in the sport. McMahon's 23 touchdowns and 18 interceptions as a sophomore were historic, and her junior year saw her help Campo Verde win a second state title with a 57-0 championship performance. Playing alongside Moreno at both Campo Verde and HYPAELITE, she's proven herself against the best competition at every level — high school, club, and national. Her combination of route-running on offense and coverage ability on defense makes her the prototype for what college coaches want in a 5v5 flag football recruit.

Key Stats

1,000+ rec yds | 17 INTs as sophomore | Plays for perennial state power Alonso

Elite Experience

USA 15U National Team Gold Medalist

Scouting Report

One of Florida's most complete two-way players. Over 1,000 receiving yards and 17 interceptions as a sophomore places her among the elite. National team experience at the 15U level confirms her ability against top competition. Playing at Alonso — a perennial state title contender in Florida's most competitive flag football state — means every stat was earned against quality opponents.

Key Stats

Gold medals at both 15U AND 17U national team levels

Elite Experience

USA 15U Gold | USA 17U Gold | Only player ranked with dual gold medals at two age levels

Scouting Report

The most internationally tested player in the class. Wieloch is the only player ranked here who has earned gold at both the 15U and 17U national team levels — a distinction that puts her elite experience profile in rarefied air. Playing in Pennsylvania limits her statistical visibility compared to Florida and California peers, but her performance against the nation's best on the USA Football stage is all the validation needed.

Texas Fury | 2x USA 15U Gold (2023, 2024) | NFL FLAG Championship (Austin Texans)

Scouting Report

Back-to-back USA 15U gold medals in 2023 and 2024, plus an NFL FLAG championship with the Austin Texans, give Beckett one of the deepest elite experience profiles in the class. She plays for Texas Fury, one of the top club programs nationally. Texas's developing high school flag scene limits her HS statistical profile, but her national-level performance speaks volumes.

31 TDs | 11 INTs | Plays for Robinson, winners of 5 consecutive state titles

Elite Experience

Robinson (Tampa) — perennial state champion (seeking 6th straight title in Spring 2026)

Scouting Report

Williams does everything well for the most dominant dynasty in women's flag football. Robinson has won five consecutive state titles and Williams's 31 TDs and 11 INTs demonstrate elite two-way capability against Florida's deepest talent pool.

Key Stats

Soph: 638 completions, 7,465 pass yds, 99 TDs | Jr: Led Huntington Beach to 25-2 record

Elite Experience

One of the most prolific passing seasons in national history | CIF-SS D1 semifinalist

Scouting Report

Massive riser from MaxPreps #40 to XR #9. Shaia's 7,465 passing yards and 99 touchdowns as a sophomore were staggering. As a junior, she led Huntington Beach to a 25-2 record and a CIF-SS Division 1 semifinal appearance before being shut out 33-0 by Orange Lutheran's elite defense. That loss isn't a knock — OLu is the #2-3 team in the nation and their defensive game plan specifically targeted Shaia. Her volume and processing speed are college-ready.

Key Stats

71% completion | 2,447 yds | 44 TDs as sophomore

Elite Experience

Versatile multi-position athlete in competitive Florida

Scouting Report

Smith's versatility is her superpower. A 71% completion rate with 44 TDs shows elite accuracy from the QB spot, but her ability to play multiple positions gives coaches scheme flexibility. Playing in the Tampa Bay area against programs like Robinson and Steinbrenner means her production came against real competition.
