So when he was here earlier this summer, he was eager to catch up with Legette for a little horse talk, among other things.
The two have plenty in common, from their love of riding to their South Carolina roots.
Norman was born in Greenwood and was starring at Coastal Carolina in Conway when Legette was growing up in Mullins, about a half-hour up the road.
But the two had never met until Norman came out to watch practice, and when they caught up, they realized how closely their paths had come without intersecting.
“It’s wild that this was the first time I met X, man, that’s kind of crazy,” Norman said. “But I’ve seen the clips, and I’ve seen him on that horse, so I know what he can do.”
