Early and personal life


Grayson has three sisters.[1] His parents are a pastor and a plastics plant worker.[2] Grayson attended Archbishop Rummel High School.[1][2][3][4][5]


College career


Grayson attended Louisiana State University (LSU), majoring in kinesiology, where he was an All-American track sprinter.[1][2][3][4][5] He did not play football in college because the NCAA prohibited athletes who were on scholarship for a minor sport like track from playing major sports; such a rule was created to prevent football teams from circumventing their scholarship limit by allocating extra players to other sports.[2][3] He gave up his track scholarship in order to undertake football training.[2]
