Here at LGF, we are always excited to hear from parents/guardians about how the Diamond in the Rough Articles have helped their sons get the exposure needed for a college offer. In the past several months we have received numerous texts, emails, tweets, and messages from parents/guardians thanking us for helping. One reason that Diamond in the Rough Articles are so successful is that we do not charge for writing them, and coaches/recruiters know that. This fact eliminates bias and helps us here at LGF to find diamonds. When I was coaching at Southeastern, Coach Lacy asked me to find a recruiting service that didn’t charge players for their services. Can you believe that back then, I could not find one? Since then, I have found individuals who work to promote players like Mary Jo from Recruit Louisiana. In this month’s magazine, we have our NFL preseason. We also have an exclusive about University of Louisiana in Lafayette. I want to personally thank you for taking the time to read my magazine. Every magazine sold, helps us to continue to help more kids. If you enjoy reading about football please tell your finds about this magazine. Thank you for enjoying our magazine and helping make kids dreams of playing college football come true. Thank you, Coach Andy Bryson

“As the father of one of the top 2019 DL Recruits in LA. I am forever grateful to the nationwide exposure Louisiana Gridiron Football Magazine has given my son to college football coaches, fans, athletes and media outlets. I can boldly say without a doubt their staff is second to none when it comes to football knowledge, evaluating recruits, college coaching network, training and interviewing athletes. By utilizing their multiple resources my son went from under the radar to committing to play for a top 25 football program on full scholarship.” - Donald Berniard “As the father of a football player that has NOT been drafted, I am thankful to Andy Bryson and Louisiana Gridiron Football Organization. As with any parent, you want your son’s athleticism to be critiqued and for him to have a shot at his dream. This organization gives him and others an opportunity to be seen where they otherwise would not. The professionalism that this organization posses and the exposure to so many in the business of football, media, coaches, and former players is a testament to the sincerity of their desire to help young athletes. Way to go Andy!” - James Curry
