Penn State’s Joey Julius became a pop-culture figure in college football last season because of his ferocious tackles, unbecoming of a kicker.
He’s also been honest and open about the challenges of facing an eating disorder. Julius announced on Facebook on Friday that he again is battling it head-on.
“I have been struggling over the last couple months with my eating disorder. It got to the point where I had to return to St. Louis to seek further treatment at the McCallum Place. Recovery is a wonderful and beautiful thing that I am working on.
