A contract signed last offseason upped the ante for Grambling coach Rod Broadway, who claimed a series of incentives after leading the program to just its fifth 11-win season in school history in 2008. Broadway originally signed a $156,000 contract in March of 2007, a rate similar to that of former Grambling coach Melvin Spears, [...]

Celebrated S.C. athlete signs with Grambling
South Carolina-Greer High dual-threat quarterback Efferlan Williams, the 2008 Greenville County Player of the Year, has signed a national letter of intent to play at Grambling. Williams also earned first-team honors on the Greenville Touchdown Club All-County Team after running for 1,844 yards and 23 scores while throwing for 734 yards and five touchdowns in [...]
Grambling signs multi-position prep prospect from Texas
Grambling has added a multi-position prep prospect out of Arlington (Texas) High, OL/TE/DL Tajye Anderson (6-1/300). Arlington has been perhaps the most successful football program in its district over Anderson’s time there, with three playoff berths in the last five years and a 6-4 postseason mark. Named a 5ATexasFootball.com Player to Watch, he spent most [...]
A 'big' new addition to Grambling's receiving corps
Grambling’s receivers last season stood out as an efficient, if not terribly spectacular, group. Thing is, we’re used to spectacular. Every important receiving record at Grambling has been rewritten since 2000, most of them since the 2004 arrival of Clyde Edwards — who set school marks for receptions in a season, career receiving yards and [...]
The program-building efforts you don't see
Much is made, each recruiting season, out of signatures from far off places. At Grambling, fans cheered successful forays, for instance, into Florida and California during the ongoing signing period. GSU has also had notable successes in Alabama and Texas. But it’s just as important to win at home for GSU, positioned as it is [...]
Grambling adds California athlete, two from Florida; see video
Grambling has continued to collect players for its 2009 class, weeks into the signing period. The latest are Lucky Dozier (5-10/190), an athletic, do-everything prospect out of Burbank (Sacramento, Calif.) High; as well as Countryside running back Dawrence Roberts and Tarpon Springs quarterback Danny Reyes — both of Tampa Bay, Fla.
Grambling's family tradition continued on signing day
It was no surprise when new Grambling signee Jordell McCoy, the Louisiana Class 5A first-team All-State defensive back out of Woodlawn-Baton Rouge, told me he’s a cousin of Kenneth Anio, a starter in the GSU secondary. That fits into the larger storyline of Grambling football, where families (the Williams, the Andersons, the Howells, the Insleys) [...]
20/20 Hindsight: SWAC West's 2009 recruiting classes
TheDerisoReport continues its two-day examination of the Southwestern Athletic Conference’s 2009 signing day classes. Saturday, we looked at the East Division. Today, our take on how the West was won: SOUTHERN Southern’s Pete Richardson, stung by a staggering level of academic attrition last season, announced his smallest class in five seasons. (Southern had 19 in [...]
