When Terry Beckner Jr. struts around the Missouri football team’s locker room, he looks a bit different than he has in the past.
He now believes he has noticeable abs, so he’s often shirtless.
“He tries flexing in the locker room,” Mizzou linebacker Terez Hall said of Beckner, the Tigers’ defensive tackle who bypassed the chance to go pro after his junior year.
The 6-foot-4 Beckner, a one-time top-ranked recruit, said here at Southeastern Conference Media Days on Wednesday that he has dropped about 15 pounds, despite adding 6 pounds of muscle. He weighs about 290 thanks in part to his elimination of McDonald’s from his diet.
