🔼This Speaks Volumes. The abundance of paper is the challenge of being part of a major college football program, with inches-thick playbooks, binders and scouting reports.

Innovative Auburn graduate defensive back Griffin Speaks came up with a solution for all that clutter.

“One of my old teammates and me, we created this app,” Speaks said. “We’re incorporating machine learning. We’re giving players the ability to take notes, go on your playbook, take quizzes and make adjustments to the playbook digitally.”

Along with his former Baylor teammate Ben Hamilton, Speaks founded a company called GamePrep, and their app – The Player’s Playbook – is in development.
