Throughout her career, Britanny worked to make sure that college football players didn’t neglect the academic side of their studies. This encouraged her to launch the Gradesfirst project in 2014. The project focused on helping students succeed academically.

Last Chance U:

Brittany’s only acting stint was in the 2016 Netflix mini-series, Last Chance U. Centered around college football teams that aren’t major programs and don’t get much national attention, the series offered viewers a peak into the daily life and struggle of students as they try to rise as professionals. The five-season series won the Sports Emmy Award for Outstanding Serialized Sports Documentary. Even though Brittany did not win any awards personally, the role brought her worldwide recognition and one specific quote from the show “Do you have a pencil?” became a catchphrase. Inspired by the quote she launched her own company, “Ten Thousand Pencils,” in the fall of 2017.
