Tyrel Wellington, 24, was born in Trinidad and Tobago, moved to Brooklyn, NY in 1996, and then relocated to Georgia in 2005. The Georgia Military College student can regularly be seen at Stone Mountain running with a 25-lb tire dragging behind him. A tiring workout, literally. He dreams of one day winning a Heisman Trophy like one of his idols, Herschel Walker, who also trained with a tire — except never on a mountain, he proudly pointed out! — and Tyrel even takes ballet classes to fortify his footwork on the field.
