Rebecca Longo (born March 17, 1999) is an American football kicker who became the first woman to earn a college football scholarship to an NCAA school at the Division II level or higher when she signed a letter of intent with Adams State University.
[1] She attended Basha High School in Chandler, Arizona and started playing football competitively her sophomore year.
[4][5] After a redshirt year, and an ankle injury during the 2018 season, Longo left Adams State without attempting a kick or playing a down in a game.
In September 2019, Longo announced that she had joined the Gila River Hawks of the newly formed Hohokam Junior College Athletic Conference.
The conference, consisting of only four teams of random students from a junior college in the area, may have been created solely to help Longo fulfill her stated claim of playing in a "college football" game.
