Early Life
Lett graduated from Fairhope High School and received a American football scholarship from Auburn University, but after scoring a low ACT, he had to play two seasons at Hinds Community College in Raymond, Mississippi. He was set to move to New Mexico State University, but after having problems with his transfer credits, he accepted a partial scholarship offer from Emporia State University in Kansas.
He earned All-NAIA District 10 recognition as a senior, but pro scouts lost interest when he missed his first four games with a right knee injury. He wasn't invited to any senior all-star games or the NFL Scouting Combine.
