Pratt Community College is making history! Nayeli Vazquez became the first ever Flag Football athlete signed out of the state of Oklahoma. Head coach Abbi Munson, an Oklahoma native, was very excited about the signing. Vazquez starred for East Central High School’s championship-winning team in the fall of 2024, playing an instrumental role in bringing home the state title for her Fighting Cardinals team during the sport’s inaugural season of competition. 

Coach Munson when speaking about the signing said, “Being an Oklahoma native from Wyandotte, OK, I was absolutely thrilled to hear that Tulsa Public Schools started a girl’s flag football program. I couldn’t wait to come to a game and Nayeli immediately stood out as a leader. Her energy, focus, and talent lead to an offer that very night. We are extremely pleased to make Her-Story (history) here in Oklahoma signing the first flag football athlete to receive a scholarship to play at the next level.” 

The signing occurred on February 5, which is also National Girls and Women in Sports Day. The timing could not have been better for anyone involved. Coach Munson is doing a great job with her program and is continuing to grow both it and the sport in general. In Alabama and Virginia, the first player to be signed in the state's history also came to play for Coach Munson. PCC is proud to have Abbi Munson leading their program and to see the impact she has not only on our campus but also nationwide!
