LeGarrette Blount
from Legends of Sportsball Hosted by Nick Mitchell & Scott Tedford Barns
LeGarrette Montez Blount was born December 5, 1986 in Madison, Florida to parents Gary and Barbara Blount. LeGarrette grew up with two siblings, a sister, Tareaka and a brother, Jontavian. Gary Blount had been a local high school football standout which led to LeGarrette’s pursuit of his own football dreams. At Terry County High School, LaGarrette was a two-sport athlete in football and track&field. LeGarrette would start in all four years of high school, while rushing for over 1,000 yards in every year in all but his freshmen year. LeGarrette was only considered as a 2-star recruit and was barely recruited out of high school. Unfazed, Blount attended Auburn University’s spring football camp, but did not receive an athletic scholarship, and unfortunately, didn’t qualify academically either, so he headed to East Mississippi Community College.
