A grant has been accepted for the 13th annual Legends All-Pro Football Camp.

The National Football League Youth Foundation gives grants to retired NFL players who are vested in the NFL’s retirement system and are holding a free clinic in their hometown. Current players are also eligible.

The grant makes the camp free and helps with costs associated with equipment, T-shirts, food, Gatorade and hotel rooms.

Camp director 1983 Bogalusa High School graduate Bruce Plummer who is a former NFL player and scout and is now an assistant coach for the Lumberjacks, said getting the grant is a major plus.

“There are a lot of things you can do as a former player,” Plummer said. “I found out about this grant when I was a scout for the Atlanta Falcons. We’ve gotten the grant for the last eight years. I think it’s great that these kids get to learn football from former NFL and college players. We also get to teach them about life and show them the positive things we can do with our life.”

Some of the coaches this year are Josh Robinson, the Bogalusa High School coaching staff, Tyronne Williams, Ray Caldwell, Rogie Magee, Robert Harris Jr., Jason Vigne, Chris Dupree, Greg Greely and Kenneth McSwain.

Robinson, who is from Bogalusa and is a 2011 Franklinton High School graduate, was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in the 2015 draft during the sixth round, 205th overall.

The Bogalusa coaching staff is led by head coach David Roberts Jr., who is entering his first season with the Lumberjacks.
