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.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
