The Rock

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was all over the news yesterday. And if you are wondering why we are blogging about a former Miami football player, stick with us for a moment. The action star gifted his stunt double a custom truck, sharing the surprise in an Instagram video. His stunt double, Tanoai Reed is Johnson’s cousin, and, in the part that is important to us, is that he is also the father of freshman football player Samson Reed. Reed is a defensive lineman and was a finalist for the Hawaii Gatorade Player of the Year playing at Kahuku High School.
