Senior cornerback Whigham transforms offseason lifestyle to improve play on field for Syracuse
Julian Whigham received a text message from defensive coordinator Chuck Bullough at 5:30 a.m. similar to others he received throughout the summer.
“It’s your ball,” the text read.
Whigham doesn’t respond with a message of his own, but instead heeds Bullough’s advice on the practice field.
“It just kind of gets your mind right when you get up out of bed,” Whigham said.
Whigham’s all about football from the moment he wakes up, and the texts justify his overhauled lifestyle this offseason.
