Penn State Football: Joey Julius begins treatment, still on roster

Penn State kicker Joey Julius posted on social media the reason for his recent absence from the team. Julius was mysteriously scratched from the Blue-White game on April 22 and there was no reason given. We know now that Julius left the team to continue to receive treatment for an eating disorder.

Julius reveled his struggles with weight and an eating disorder back in October. He received treatment at a facility in St. Louis over the summer.

On Friday Julius took to Facebook to give an update on his status. Per the post, he stated that the reason he’s currently not in school and was not at the Blue-White game is because he has returned to the treatment center for more rehab.
