LSU Tigers WR Travin Dural Blames Popeyes for Offseason Weight Gain

Many college students find themselves battling the infamous "Freshman 15" at some point during their first year on campus, and student-athlete Travin Dural is no different.

The LSU Tigers receiver has unknowingly put on a few pounds this offseason. And it's all because he loves that chicken from Popeyes.

Dural's player profile lists him at 6'2", 207 pounds. That's about what he considers playing weight, but he's coming off hamstring surgery back in November. He explained to Glenn Guilbeau of the USA Today network, via WWLTV.com, what caused him to pack on some pounds.
