Last summer, Netflix found a hit with its documentary series “Last Chance U” about a popular community college for transfers and recruits who failed to qualify out of high school. While SEC football fans may have initially tuned in to watch Tigers and Bulldogs such as Auburn’s John Franklin III and Mississippi State’s Wyatt Roberts and James Davis, many viewers were won over by the team’s academic advisor, Brittany Wagner, who became a fan favorite.

Now that she’s become nationally known, Wagner is branching out beyond East Mississippi Community College. Wagner recently announced her new venture, 10 Thousand Pencils, LLC, a company that will specialize in counseling high school athletes.

In an article by AL.com’s Creg Stephenson, Wagner is likened to a private quarterback coach. She’s not replacing any high school guidance counselors, but will be providing a supplemental outside service for prospective college athletes who are on the borderline of qualifying academically.

“I’m really excited about it,” Wagner told AL.com. “I’ve got some really good people helping me, and some good clients in the works. I’m excited about being able to open the door for more athletes to benefit, for more athletes to have that help. A lot of these kids, they’re thrown in, there’s all this pressure, and they just don’t have enough people helping them. They need (more) than what a school district is able to provide.”

Wagner acknowledged that many of her prospective may come from low-income households, but she plans to keep her services affordable and would like to be able to budget for pro bono work.

“I’m trying to really be affordable, not to over-price myself, so that I can reach more athletes,” Wagner said. “Hopefully, this gets going where I can do some pro bono stuff, and really work with some underprivileged kids, really be able to help the most people that I can.”
