Hello everyone, I am Logan Graffia! I have been around sports all of my life. My Grandmother even has a photo of me holding a football when I was only an infant so that should tell you how much I love not only football, but sports in general! A little background on me. I was born and raised in Slidell, Louisiana, I started playing association basketball when I was around 6 or 7 years old and moved into football at 11 years old and have been playing ever since then. I attended Slidell High School where I would play Linebacker and graduate from in 2015.
After graduating High School I attended Northshore Technical Community College where I got my prerequisites, after two semesters there I transferred to Southeastern La in 2016 to pursue my dream of being a Sports Reporter. During my time at SELU, I was able to be on multiple sports podcasts and enjoyed it. I also would go on to work for the TV Station on campus and serve as a Sports Anchor and Reporter and loved every minute of it. I graduated from Southeastern La in May 2020 with my Bachelors degree in Communication.
The Fun Fact about me is that since 2015 I have been playing Semi Pro football. I played two years for this team based in Hammond called Louisiana Bayou Vipers and then since 2017 I have played for this team based in small town Lacombe, Louisiana called Bayou Lacombe Cardinals. I have loved every minute of it. I look forward to being a part of the KREWE!
