Early years
Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Rahm grew up in a close family. His father, former college offensive line coach himself, always instilled into Kota the importance of putting others above yourself, to never be afraid to stand up for the little man, or even take the hit. His father pushed him to just be himself and to not worry about what other people think. Rahm went to high school at Klein Collins. Wanting to join something and become a part of something bigger, and wanting to put his father's advice to use, Rahm joined football, which in Texas is as competitive as it gets. After learning the trade and being put at offensive line, Kota excelled despite his smaller frame compared to others around him. His intelligence allowed him to thrive in the trenches allowing him to predict his oppositions next move and counter it. Rated as a low 2-star prospect out of high school, the University of Houston was the only scholarship he received.
