Nahshon Garrett was born in Chico, California, the son of Golden Sizemore and Alvin Garrett, and grew up with two brothers and four sisters.

Wrestling career
Wrestling on the Cornell team, Garrett won the 133 pound NCAA Division 1 National Championship in 2016. He finished the 2015–2016 season with a perfect 37-0, and was the 2016 EIWA Wrestler of the Year.[5] A four-time All American for Cornell University, his collegiate career record was 149-12, and he was selected for membership in the Quill and Dagger society.[6]
Garrett competed at the 2016 Freestyle Wrestling Olympic Trials, losing a controversial match to Tony Ramos. In the match Garrett was leading 3-2 when he was hit with a stalling penalty point just seconds before the end of the match, giving Ramos the victory by decision.[7]
