Cordell Broadus and father Snoop Dogg part of 5-part ESPN documentary to air tonight

Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) senior receiver Cordell Broadus, perhaps more than any high school athlete in America, is used to the limelight.

His dad is Calvin Broadus, AKA Snoop Dogg, one of the world's most famous rappers and personalities.

Add that with the fact that the 6-foot-3, 195-pound uncommitted standout is the nation's No. 113 recruit by 247Sports, and the naturally shy standout has seen his share of long and short lenses.

In fact, he's probably immune to them.

"It's something I was born into," Cordell told us in August. "I didn't ask for it. With a father like mine, I guess you should expect all eyes on me, for cameras to follow me around. I just really try to ignore it and be real, just be myself and be a team player. I just try to contribute to the team."

He did so for the MaxPreps Composite mythical national champions.

The Gaels finished 15-0, outscored opponents 776-184 and Broadus hauled in 39 passes for 502 yards and 11 touchdowns on an extremely balanced offense.

He did it on a brand new team — he transferred from Diamond Bar (Calif.) after his junior season — and more impressive perhaps than what he did on the field, were his contributions off of it.

He wasn't a distraction, say coaches and players. In fact, his humble and down-to-earth nature made him a favorite among teammates and schoolmates.

"He's obviously a great kid," said senior two-way lineman Jackson Perry, a 3.75 student who has football offers to Nebraska, UCLA and Ivy Leagues schools. "He's very stout, but also very quiet. I don't think we were expecting him to be as quiet as he is."

Said senior co-captain and middle linebacker Nela Otukolo, who transferred from Hawaii before his junior year: "The dude has made not just a huge impact on our team, but the school in general. The student body loves him. He's just the type of kid everyone rallies around."

This, above all seasons, it was difficult for Cordell not to be a distraction.

ESPN cameras followed his every move — and we mean every move — while making a five-part documentary which debuts tonight entitled "Snoop & Son."

MaxPreps covered Cordell and the Gaels three times this season, including their state championship game, a 70-28 win over Reed, and we photographed four additional games and witnessed executive producer Rory Karpf and staff taping Cordell before, during and after every game.

Remarkably, Cordell stayed focused and true to his teammates, and his family.

After catching two touchdowns in the state-title win over Reed, MaxPreps Director of Photography caught Cordell lifting his mother Shante off the ground with a giant bear hug. All the while, father and husband is watching proudly.

It was a treasured family moment, many of which will surely be captured in the documentary.

He'll likely uncover his recruiting process as well. His finalists are reportedly UCLA, USC, Notre Dame, Oregon State and Florida State. He told us late in the season that his recruiting "is wide open."

And that's what he liked about Nevada compared to California.

"I really like it out here," he said early in the season. "It's quiet. It's a great atmosphere to just focus on academics and football. I'm just trying to focus on those two things, and then ball out on Fridays."

All of it worked, said Notre Dame-bound safety Nicco Fertitta.

"I don't think of (Cordell) as a celebrity kid," he said. "I think of him as a humble kid, a well-round individual. If you didn't know who he was, you'd have no idea that he's the son of a famous rapper. He's such a good individual. He's the type of guy you want to be around."
