After a tumultuous first season in Storrs, senior forward Eric Cobb is down nearly 60 pounds from the start of last season to 226 pounds and two-percent body fat. He has also lost roughly 20 pounds since May.
“I felt like it would help me be lighter on my feet,” Cobb told Dave Borges of the New Haven Register. “Since then, I’ve been moving quicker, I’ve been reacting to different things better, and just having a healthy mind.”
Cobb credits the weight loss to former strength coach Ed Streit and his replacement, Sal Alosi.
