Steven and some members of his family are planning to drive from Marshall County all the way to the upstate New York city of Syracuse. “It’s definitely a long drive but it will be worth it,” Steven said. Over the past few months Steven has been preparing his body for college football caliber competition. Syracuse University placed Steven on a specific workout plan that is designed to help him gain the needed weight to handle the physical demand of college football. “There’s a good bit of stuff in the workout that focuses on agility and conditioning but mostly it’s designed to help me muscle up,” Steven said. “I can definitely see a difference after just a few months.” At the end of basketball season in February, Steven weighed 265 pounds. After a few months on the Syracuse workout plan, he now weighs 295 pounds. “It’s been fun to challenge myself with this workout,” Steven said. “My max on bench press is now up to 400 pounds, which I’m proud of.” Before the Syracuse football season starts in early September, Steven plans on gaining even more muscle. “The coaches at Syracuse said they would like to have me at 315 pounds by the time the season opener gets here,” Steven said. Syracuse opens the 2015 season with Rhode Island at home. Steven is hopeful that he will see playing time in his first year. “The coaches have continued to support me and encourage me,” he said. “I’m very excited to start the season. It’s going to be a crazy feeling to run out of the tunnel in front of that many people.” [/QUOTE]
