per CNN:
Becca Longo isn't the first woman to play football.
But the senior at Basha High School in Chandler, Arizona, made history when she signed a letter of intent to play football at Adams State University, an NCAA Division II school in Alamosa, Colorado.
It's believed that Longo, 18, is the first female to earn a football scholarship to an NCAA school at the Division II level or higher -- something she had no idea of until a signing ceremony Wednesday at her high school.
"I was completely shocked," Longo told CNN. "Everybody who has it on video said my jaw dropped to the floor."
