Joey Julius has made a name for himself this season as a hard-tackling former soccer player turned placekicker for Penn State with a couple videos of his tackles going viral.
But the latest headlines about the former Philadelphia Union Academy forward have nothing to do with football or soccer.
Julius went public in a post on his Facebook page Monday about his struggles with an eating disorder that kept him out of spring and summer practices with the Nittany Lions.
“I was admitted into the McCallum place on may 9th for eating disorders,” he wrote.
