Boutte, Louisiana, USATue Jul 08 2025

A Journey Through College Football

Logan Diggs is making waves in college football, but his journey is far from ordinary. He's not just a player; he's a story of resilience and determination.

  • Transfers: Notre Dame → LSU → Ole Miss
  • Stats: 1,704 total yards, 24 receptions, 14 touchdowns

The Backbone of His Story

The real inspiration behind his success is his mother, Ayanni Diggs.

Ayanni's Journey

  • Age 16: Became a mother to Logan and his older brother
  • Career: Juggled multiple jobs, pursued a college degree, relied on family support
  • Education: Graduated from Nicholls State University
  • Current Role: Disability analyst for the Social Security Administration

Logan's Perspective

"She sacrificed so much for me and my brother growing up. It was tough growing up. I watched her every day make sure we had a roof over our heads and food on the table every night. She taught me to never, ever quit and keep going no matter how hard the times may get."

Chasing Dreams

Ayanni's Dreams

  • Singing: Dreams of being on Broadway
  • Flight Attendant: Recently fulfilled her lifelong dream with Southwest Airlines

Logan's Inspiration

"My mom can really sing and had dreams of being on Broadway. She also always wanted to be a flight attendant. She had the confidence, the strength, and the faith to do something different, and she went to chase one of her dreams. That gave me the confidence to do the same thing (deciding to transfer to LSU)."

A Strong Bond

As Logan prepares for his final season at Ole Miss, he's got his mom by his side, cheering him on.
