“Put on Luke’s new album Fathers & Sons during workout today,” he writes on social media. “Not even halfway thru the warmup, full blown waterworks.”

“Thanks for making me cry @lukecombs.”

This isn’t Watt’s first run-in with country music. In fact, the former Houston Texan co-hosted the 2016 CMT Music Awards in 2016 alongside sports broadcaster, Erin Andrews. He also served as a presenter for the show in 2015.

And how could anyone forget this wild video from 2022 that shows Watt tackling a person at a Zac Brown Band show. Shortly after a person jumped out of the crowd during the performance, the six-foot-five pro-baller sprints across the stage and tackles them with perfect form.

It’s unclear whether the moment was planned or not. Watt has made funny videos with the band before. Plus, the guy he allegedly tackled share his own video of the moment — which shows him bracing for impact.
