*UNTHINKABLE: College Football Introduces First-Ever Co-Ed Team — Female QB Leads Alabama to National Championship*
In a moment that will be remembered forever in sports history, the University of Alabama has officially shattered all barriers — becoming the *first NCAA Division I football program to feature a female quarterback*, who not only started the entire season but led the Crimson Tide to a *National Championship victory*.
*18-year-old Taylor Brooks*, a former 5-star recruit from Texas and the #1 ranked dual-threat QB in her class, silenced every critic with her arm, speed, and leadership. Dubbed “The Queen of the Gridiron,” Brooks threw for 4,200 yards, 37 touchdowns, and rushed for another 900 yards this season.
> “It’s not about being the first girl,” Brooks said tearfully. “It’s about proving you belong when the world tells you that you don’t.”
*How It Happened*
The NCAA quietly passed an inclusion waiver in 2026 that allowed co-ed eligibility at the quarterback position, sparking a wave of interest. Alabama’s coaching staff, recognizing Taylor’s elite talent, offered her a scholarship in what many thought was a PR stunt — until she started Week 1 and never looked back.
