Neville returned to a big stage in 2016 as one of sixteen cast members on Fox’s nationally televised reality show American Grit, supplying a glimpse of life in the military. Filming took place in the wilderness of Pack Forest outside Eatonville, Washington. One of his team’s early challenges was carrying a 125-pound log for 3.6 miles through forest and up hills. Taylor track athletes held a weekly watch party to see how their coach fared.
