• Funny look at how an OSU lineman gained weight to move from tight end:

(Grant) Seagren said he was about 250 pounds when he got to Lincoln, so he started eating. He said he was putting down about a quart of ice cream every few days. The flavor? Whatever was on sale because he was a walk-on. He said he’d eat calorie-dense foods and then workout hard the next day “so you didn’t get fat.” The method seemed to work. After being listed at 260 in 2023, Seagren was listed at 305 in 2024. He took part in seven of the Cornhuskers’ games as a redshirt freshman before hitting the transfer portal this offseason. [PFB]
