Leroy Hollins has dedicated his life to mentoring youth in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area.
He’s had highs such as seeing La’el Collins become the Dallas Cowboys’ starting right tackle and Derrius Guice being a second-round draft pick by the Washington Redskins after an all-SEC career at LSU.
There’s been lows, too. Just a couple years ago, Leroy went to a funeral and a courthouse the same day. One of his players had murdered another one of his players.
“Sad thing. A drug deal gone wrong,” Leroy said.
