Early life
Grable was born on October 4, 1999, in Gordon, Georgia, and grew up there.[1] He attended Wilkinson County High School where he won four varsity letters as both a football and basketball player.[1] In football, he was a quarterback.[2][3] He won the starting job as a sophomore and threw for over 5,000 yards in two seasons before missing his senior year due to injury.[1] He was a zero-star recruit with only one offer from Division II school West Alabama. He decided to walk-on to play for the FCS Jacksonville State Gamecocks.[1]
