CLEMSON - Sophomore defensive tackle Payton Page has come a long way since he first came to Clemson.
His weight when he first arrived was not where it needed to be, coming in at 395 pounds.
“COVID really messed me up,” Page said. “I couldn’t play, so I gained a lot of weight. It was basically all video games and DoorDash because I couldn’t really go outside. And then when I got here, I got humbled really fast, had to get right, and I lost all that weight.”
Ditching his go-to of McDonald's and sticking to Clemson's salad bar, Page is now down to 317 pounds, although the journey to get there was not so easy.
