The JUCO Grind: From Weed Charges to D1 Dreams | Realest College Football Story Ever Told | Ep. 10

Let me be real with you... JUCO ain’t for the weak. It’s college jail — and in this video, you're about to hear the realest JUCO story ever told.

John Ladele opens up about the grind, the struggle, and the setbacks — from getting kicked out, weed charges, losing everything — to fighting his way back and chasing a D1 dream. This is the side of football nobody talks about.

If you think JUCO is just a stepping stone, you’re dead wrong. It’s a battlefield — mentally, physically, emotionally. Some fold. Some rise.

💯 We talk:

• 2,000 up-downs and crazy discipline

• Living with nothing but your grind

• Battling dudes who are NFL-ready

• Finding a way back when everybody counted you out

This episode is for every athlete who thinks it’s gonna be easy. For every parent who wants the truth. For every coach trying to save a kid’s future. This is it.

🧠 This story will change the way you look at the game.
