NORMAL — Packing on 100 pounds since high school wouldn’t necessarily be difficult over a five-year span for someone unconcerned about how it is accomplished.
Yet adding nearly that much weight since graduating from Geneseo High School in 2015 — and doing it smartly — remains on ongoing process for Illinois State offensive tackle Drew Himmelman.
The 6-foot-10, 320-pound Himmelman has successfully undergone the journey from greyshirt to redshirt to starter to All-American and NFL prospect with the Redbirds.
“At the beginning when Coach (Brock) Spack told me about greyshirting, I was not too keen on it,” Himmelman said.
