There is a long story behind it; let us reveal it. So basically, he was called NiTareon Tuggle until he scored 4.4 speed during high school, after which his mom and his uncle came up with this new name, Nitro! “They had come up with it; it is really in the name. I didn’t like it at first but stuck with it.” Later, he explained that when everyone started calling him by this name, he started liking it.

Although details of his family’s personal or professional life are not available, Nitro is quite vocal while talking about them. Once, he said that he didn’t come from a pleasant environment, and he dreams of showing his younger siblings a better life, passing the torch to them, and watching his mom and dad happy. It gives an insight into his powerful character at a very young age. Coming to his life on the field, Neo started his football career by joining Northwood High School. His most remarkable performance was during his senior year when he recorded 86 receptions for 1456 yards, along with 19 touchdowns.
