For the uninitiated, junior college (or JUCO) football features teams from two-year community colleges, as opposed to the four-year institutions that compete at the more prestigious NCAA level. However, there's still plenty at stake for JUCO student-athletes, many of whom have been cast-off or rejected by bigger programs and need to prove themselves worthy of a return to Division I action.
Seasons 1 and 2 of Last Chance U followed East Mississippi Community College, while the third and fourth runs of the show shifted focus to Kansas and Independence Community College. Now, it's time to take a trip to the West Coast and Oakland, California - where Laney College and mustachioed head coach John Beam await.
Laney is one of the most famous junior college football programs in the US and Beam is something of a legend at the level, having coached in Cali for over 30 years and helped more than 100 players progress to a NCAA Division I program. That isn't all, though - at Laney alone, 20 of his players have eventually graduated to the NFL, including Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion C.J. Anderson. Unrecruited out of high school, Anderson's two-year stint at Laney was where he made the transition from quarterback to running back, resulting in an offer from Cal and, ultimately, a spot on the roster of the Denver Broncos.
How will Beam's latest batch of Laney NFL hopefuls turn out? There's only one way to know. Read on as we explain how to watch Last Chance U season 5 online - stream every episode of one of the best Netflix shows around right now.
