In an interview with Crux, Verrett said he credits his success to what he learned at St. Augustine High School in New Orleans. "What it means is we're the Purple Knights, that's our mascot, and purple pride means that no matter what it is that you do that is affiliated with St. Augustine you do it to the best of your ability and that stayed with me," Verrett said. "I'm always representing St. Augustine no matter what I do, where I go, what I achieve, and that's always top of mind not just for me but for all of us. It's a lifetime experience graduating from that school."
