The Future of Flexbone: How Army and Air Force Win Without NIL, Transfers, or Athletic Scholarships
Too many people focus on the past when it comes to Flexbone and Triple Option football. But the real story is what’s happening now—and what’s ahead.
Army just finished the best season in school history. Air Force ended last season on a 4-0 run and has posted a 48-22 record over the past six years.
They’ve done it without athletic scholarships, NIL money, or transfers—all while living with the constant possibility of being deployed to defend our country.
Both programs run the Zone Dive Series and Midline Triple Option over 30 times per game.
It’s time to stop looking back—and start building your future with this under-center approach that works. Thrive in 2025 and beyond.
