Football Is the Platform. Changing Lives Is the Mission.
Gridiron Football is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to giving student-athletes exposure, education, mentorship and opportunities to reach their full potential—on the field, in the classroom and in life.
Built From Service, Resilience and Football
Andy Bryson founded Gridiron Football in 2014 after serving eight years in the United States Navy and building experience across high school, college and professional football. He returned to college at age 29, earned his degree in Sport Management from LSU and worked with football programs including LSU, Southeastern Louisiana University and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Those experiences shaped a simple belief: talented young people should not be overlooked because they lack money, connections or access. Gridiron Football was created to open doors through credible media coverage, camps, recruiting exposure, mentorship and All-American events.
