WNFC Is Coming to Miami to Host First-Professional Women’s Tackle Football Scouting Combine in Miami

MIAMI, FL — The streets surrounding Luther Campbell Field have seen their share of football legends rise, on September 28, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m, Liberty City will host a new kind of history. On a humid Miami Sunday, the Women’s National Football Conference (WNFC) will stage its first-ever professional women’s tackle football combine. The Her Game Combine, hosted in partnership with former NFL All-Pro running back, Liberty City native Devonta Freeman.

For decades, Miami has been synonymous with football greatness. This fall, Liberty City will see a new chapter written, not by boys chasing NFL dreams, but by women building their own professional pathway in the game.

This isn’t just another tryout. It’s the league’s first truly professional scouting event, designed to showcase the best female football players in the world under the same bright lights of evaluation, competition, and scrutiny that men have known for decades.

A First-of-Its-Kind Showcase

The Her Game Combine is an invite-only, full-day showcase that will bring together up to 150 athletes, including league veterans, All-Pros, and free agents. Participants will undergo athletic testing in speed, agility, and strength before moving into position-specific drills and competitive reps led by some of the best trainers in the game.

League decision-makers from all 16 teams will be on site, conducting one-on-one interviews and sizing up talent well ahead of National Tryout Day.

The event is as much about opportunity as it is about competition. For the 34 free agents attending, it’s a once-in-a-career chance to be evaluated by all 16 WNFC teams at once. For the 27 returning WNFC All-Pros, including league MVP Sarah Teubner, Jewelle Grimsley, IX Cup Championship QB Michelle Angel, Offensive Player of the year Kesz Wesley, Rookie of the Year Dajour Miles, league rushing leaders Jazmin Gamble, Playmaker of the Year Dee Scott, all pros Lexie Floor, Destanie Yarbrough, Adriana Gutierrez, Regena Jackson and more. This is a chance to showcase why they’ve set the standard.

“Women’s football has lived in the shadows for too long,” said WNFC CEO Odessa Jenkins. “This combine is about putting our athletes on the same stage of professionalism and accountability that football has always demanded. The Her Game Combine is a declaration: Football Looks Like This.”

All Pro Coaching

To ensure the level of play meets the professional billing, the WNFC has recruited world-class coaches and trainers. Confirmed to lead on-field action are Jacory “Only1Way” Nicols, Josh “3Hunnid” Hicks, Margin Hooks (SkysTheLimit), Craig LeBlanc (2livecraig), and James Evertt Jr. (routegod), with offensive and defensive line specialists still to be announced.

LeBlanc, who trains with some of the top quarterbacks in the world, sees the combine as a pivotal moment. “Quarterback play is about precision, timing, and poise under pressure,” he said. “These women are coming in to prove they can handle that same demand. The talent is real, and it deserves to be showcased with the same intensity and structure we use with the best players in the game.”

Why This Moment Matters

For the WNFC, the combine represents three crucial steps forward:

• Talent Evaluation: A chance for teams to assess players months before the season begins.

• Transparency: A performance-based entry point into the league that strips away politics.

• Visibility: A national pitch for coverage, with professional interviews and a live stream to showcase the league’s talent pipeline.

For high profile free agents players like Shanice Cole, Kris Grimes, Erica Moore, Zay Dollente, Amber O'Connor, and Isis Woods the event isn’t just another workout, it’s a career audition opportunity to land on a championship contender.

The Call for Elite Athletes

The WNFC isn’t just looking inward. With National Tryout Day looming later this fall, the league is issuing a challenge to athletes across the sports world: if you believe you have what it takes to play pro football, now is your chance. Apply here.

This combine is open to elite cross-sport athletes, from track stars and rugby standouts to basketball veterans and MMA fighters who want to test their skill sets on the gridiron. For those who’ve competed at the highest levels, the combine provides a rare opportunity to earn a direct evaluation from every WNFC team before official tryouts begin.

Applications for invite consideration remain open, giving elite athletes a chance to join the WNFC All-Pros and free agents in Miami for a day that could put them on a path to balling in the big league.

Beyond the Combine: Inspiring the Next Generation

The WNFC isn’t stopping with the pro-level showcase. Immediately after the combine, the league will partner with its non-profit arm, Got Her Back, to host an all-girls clinic. The clinic is designed to welcome girls from across Miami, introduce them to football, and spark the next generation of athletes.

“Representation is power,” said Janice Masters - WNFC Commissioner. “When young girls see women competing at the highest level right here in their own community, it changes what they believe is possible.”

Liberty City as the Stage

The choice of Luther Campbell Field carries meaning. For decades, Liberty City has been a pipeline for football greatness, producing more NFL talent per square mile than almost anywhere in the country. Now, women are stepping onto that same sacred ground to prove their place in the game.

On September 28, between the combine and the youth clinic, Liberty City will be a crossroads, a place where the past and future of football meet, and where women stake their claim to the sport’s most hallowed traditions.

The Beginning of Something Bigger

The Her Game Combine is WNFC’s declaration that women’s tackle football has arrived in the professional era. With Freeman lending his star power, NFL-caliber position trainers on site, All-Pros in action, and free agents chasing contracts, the combine sets a precedent for what women’s pro football can and should look like.
