SEC Weight Watchers: Players who added or dropped weight since the season

In between the end of football season and the start of spring practice, there’s not a lot going on in the football world. One thing players can do: hit the gym. Whether they’re trying to pack on the muscle or shed a few pounds, plenty of players come into spring weighing something other than what they were listed at in the fall.

We did our best to compile all of the significant weight shifts in the SEC so far this spring. We’re not including players like Derrick Henry or Leonard Fournette dropping or adding a pound or two, instead looking for players with bigger weight gains or losses.

• LB Bryson Allen-Williams, South Carolina: Has lost 5-10 pounds for his move back to LB from DE, down to 239 pounds from 245-250 pounds and hoping to hit 235 pounds.
• Arkansas offensive line: RT Dan Skipper dropped 19 pounds, LG Sebastian Tretola dropped 28 pounds (down from 350 last year), LT Denver Kirkland went from 337 pounds to 343 pounds, Frank Ragnow bulked up from 300 pounds to 311 pounds for his move from center to right guard
• LB Lorenzo Carter, Georgia: Came into spring practice at 243 pounds, more than 20 pounds heavier than last fall
• DT Matt Elam, Kentucky: Has lost more than 20 pounds since arriving on campus, down to 365 pounds
• QB Brandon Harris, LSU: “Slightly heavier” than last fall’s listed weight of 188 pounds, has not specified to media his exact weight
• CB De’Vante Harris, Texas A&M: Came back from spring break at 180 pounds after playing last season at 175 pounds
• LB Clifton Garrett, LSU: Has lost 15 pounds since last season, which would put him around 230 pounds
• RB JoJo Kemp, Kentucky: Up to 204 pounds after playing at 190 pounds last season
• OL Andrew Mike, Florida: Packed on more than 20 pounds, from 280 pounds to 302 pounds.
• RB Brandon Williams, Texas A&M: Up to 200-205 pounds after playing most of his career at 190 pounds
• OL Jordan Sims, Ole Miss: Dropped 60 pounds this offseason from 370 pounds down to 310 this spring.
