Early life

Firefighter Tom Broyles climbed a ladder and entered the smoke-filled bedroom and rescued All. All was not breathing at the time, but EMT medic, Shawn Phenis, administered CPR, and All regained consciousness.[3][4] During the 2022 season, All's family invited All's rescuer to meet All at a Michigan football game, and the two embraced.[5]
All attended Fairfield High School in Fairfield, Ohio.[6] As a senior, he caught 30 passes for 465 yards and four touchdowns. ESPN rated him as a three-star prospect and the No. 10 tight end in the Class of 2019, and the No. 18 prospect in Ohio.[7]
