HS FOOT: Canyon's Reed has Hollywood bloodlines

Chris Reed, a top Canyon football lineman, is the nephew of Toa, a TV star on American Gladiators.

"Toa's my mother's brother, and I see him a lot because the family is real close -- lots of family barbeques, and he comes to my football games almost every week," Reed said. "Is he tougher than me? Yeah, I guess so. He's way bigger."

Reed also is a second cousin of pro wrestler/move star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
