Gaining weight freshmen year in college happens to many students, even athletes. The Freshman 15 doesn’t only apply to regular students, but to football players as well. Bunchy Stallings credits his weight gain to the daunting Freshman 15.
When Stallings arrived at Kentucky he weighed 330 and by the end of his freshman year he was up to 350.
“When I seen that, I just knew it was time,” Stallings told Jen Smith of the Herald-Leader. “I’ve never been that big in my life. I was, like, I can’t do this anymore.”
During the offseason, Bunchy and his brother Tré Stallings, former Ole Miss and Kansas City Chief offensive lineman, spent a month exercising and dieting together.
