Ki’Lolo Westerlund, a rising star in the world of flag football, found herself in the spotlight during the Super Bowl LIX halftime show. She was featured in an NFL Flag 50 commercial alongside NFL players like Myles Garrett, Justin Jefferson, and Marshawn Lynch. Despite being at the game in New Orleans with her father, Westerlund had not seen the commercial yet. She was a standout receiver and defensive back at Liberty High School in Las Vegas and had helped the U.S. Girls’ Junior National Team win gold medals in the Junior International Cup.

Westerlund made history as the first recipient of a Division I flag football scholarship before heading to Alabama State. Her journey to this point was filled with challenges and triumphs, but she remained dedicated to the sport she loved. The NFL Flag 50 campaign aimed to make girls flag football a varsity sport in all 50 states, and Westerlund was at the forefront of this movement.

Flag football’s popularity has surged in recent years, with the sport set to debut at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The NFL’s investment in flag football has helped propel its growth, with the Pro Bowl switching to a flag football format in 2023. Westerlund’s success on the field and her passion for the game have made her a role model for aspiring female football players.

As Westerlund prepares to compete at the collegiate level and potentially in the 2028 Olympics, she remains focused on growing the game and inspiring others. Her journey from a volleyball and rugby player to a flag football star is a testament to her determination and talent. With the support of her coaches, teammates, and fans, Westerlund is poised to make a lasting impact on the world of flag football.

Alabama State coach Jennifer Constuble recognized Westerlund’s potential early on and awarded her the first DI flag football scholarship. Constuble praised Westerlund’s work ethic and leadership qualities, highlighting her as a trailblazer for the sport. Westerlund’s infectious personality and competitive spirit have endeared her to fans and teammates alike, making her a standout player both on and off the field.

As flag football continues to gain traction as a collegiate and potentially professional sport, Westerlund’s journey serves as an inspiration to young athletes everywhere. Her goal of representing her country and making a difference in the sport she loves drives her to keep pushing boundaries and breaking barriers. With her sights set on the 2028 Olympics and beyond, Westerlund is a shining example of the power of perseverance and passion in sports.
