Female Football Player Makes History With Full College Scholarship Offer

Toni Harris became the first female football player at a skilled position to sign a letter of intent for a football scholarship on Tuesday when she committed to Central Methodist University in Missouri.

The Detroit native currently plays free safety for East Los Angeles Community College. Harris took to Twitter to announce the news.

"Such a cry baby but I'm ready for my new journey @CMUEaglesFB!"

Harris starred in a Super Bowl commercial for Toyota earlier this year that emphasized the idea of out-performing expectations. With the spot, she became the first female football player to appear in an ad during the big game.
