Early life [ edit ]

Nahshon Garrett was born in Chico, California, the son of Golden Sizemore and Alvin Garrett, and grew up with two brothers and four sisters. He attended Chico High School[1] and graduated from Cornell University with a degree in developmental sociology in 2016.[2] Garrett started wrestling at the age of 13.[1]

Wrestling career [ edit ]

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.[3] 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.[4]

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.[5]

After graduating from Cornell University, Nahshon moved to Arizona State University to train with Sunkist Kids and pursue an international wrestling career.[6] In 2019 he moved to Tennessee to train for the 2020 Summer Olympics.

2020 election controversy [ edit ]

Garrett appeared on Fox News, interviewed by news anchor Laura Ingraham on November 14th, 2020. Ingraham pointed out that his name was used to cast a vote in Arizona in the U.S. 2020 General Election according to images allegedly obtained from Maricopa County's voter portal. After receiving a voice message from The Voter Integrity Fund, a pro-Trump "voter integrity" group headed by Matt Braynard,[7] Garrett said he checked Arizona voting records and found a vote had been recorded as cast in his name.

In this appearance[8] Garrett asserted that he never received an Arizona absentee ballot or application for a mail-in ballot. Garrett who, according to his statement, had not lived in Arizona since July of 2019, believed that a mail-in ballot may have been sent to his previous address and then filled out and cast in his name. Garrett claimed that he looked up records in four official sources connected with Maricopa County, which were not disclosed in the interview, and each source confirmed that the ballot had been signature verified and counted. The host Laura Ingraham questioned the odds of an irregularity only happening to Garrett. However, she did not let him reply before switching the subject to what weight class he expected to compete in for the upcoming Summer Olympics.
