Julius became a viral sensation of sorts in 2015 for his weight (his Penn State bio lists him at 5-10, 258 pounds) and for other teams’ propensity to take cheap shots at him.
Julias has since made it public knowledge that he struggles with a binge-eating disorder. He made the announcement in October 2016, explaining that he had missed Penn State’s spring and summer workouts so he could seek treatment in St. Louis. He made a similar announcement in May, which also explained his absence at Penn State’s Blue-White game in the spring.
Julius converted 10 of 12 field goals and 20 of 24 extra point attempts as a freshman before serving as Penn State’s kickoff specialist as a sophomore last season. Forty-five of his 93 kickoffs were touchbacks.
