John Ojukwu

... that in order to gain size to increase his chance of being a college football offensive lineman, John Ojukwu went on a diet that included daily gallons of milk and sometimes whole pizzas? Source: The Times-News ("Added sophomore tight end John Bates: 'I know at one point he was drinking close to a gallon [of milk] a day, maybe more' ... Ojukwu was about 185 pounds his junior year with the Braves, and he decided he really wanted to play offensive line in college. So he ate, and he ate, and he drank, adding nearly 100 pounds in about nine months ... 'It really is a full-time job,' Ojukwu said. 'You've got to have the good things like milk, but sometimes you go for the bad stuff, like a couple of pizzas.'")

New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Hook fact checks out and should be an attention grabber. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:39, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

@Sammi Brie and BeanieFan11: The source says of milk: "a gallon maybe more" so I will correct the hook.
