Last Nutrition MVP of camp: @OjBurroughs. I give OJ a lot of crap for not eating enough carbs, but it’s all jokes. Maintaining weight during camp is hard, but he did it to be in the best situation for season. Remember when you weighed 172#??🤣 Proud!!

Dean did it himself - stuck to his nutrition process and kept pushing past each plateau💪🏼 To lose 9# every practice and still come in 230+ the next morning shows his dedication.
Dean Miller (@DeanMiller25), talking about what it takes to put on/maintain his weight. Said he was 180s coming out of high school, but with the help of @_kkatieoconnor, he’s in the mid 230s despite losing between five and nine pounds of sweat at an average practice.
