Big Ten football | Penn State kicker sought help for eating disorder

Penn State coach James Franklin said Tuesday he's proud of kicker Joey Julius for how he's dealt with an eating disorder that kept him out of spring practice and led him to being admitted to a clinic for treatment this past summer.

Julius said in a Facebook post this week that he was in therapy at McCallum Place Eating Disorder Center in St. Louis from May 9 to July 26.

"We're here to support Joey in every way possible," Franklin said. "I'm really proud of him. Besides that, I want to make sure that we're supporting Joey in every way possible academically, athletically, socially, emotionally, the whole package.
