  "Big Cinco" might just be a nickname in word only for DJ Uiagalelei moving forward. Clemson's rising junior quarterback revealed Friday evening that he had lost around 20 pounds during the offseason. He said he got up to around 260 pounds last season and is now 240, but wants to try and get down to 230 or 235. A large part of the slimming-down process was cutting out sweets and fast food. That includes In-N-Out, a staple in Uiagalelei's home state of California, and Bojangles, one of the first companies to offer him a name, image and likeness deal last summer. "Bojangles," he said, hesitating, "I mean, Bojangles, right now, I'm cutting it out just a little bit, just kind of cutting it out but in moderation." As much as he'd like to eat ice cream or make a quick stop at Bojangles, Uiagalelei is thinking long-term about his overall health and what's best for his football career.

He compared his new mindset to recently retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady's approach to physical health and diet. "You kind of see like the TB12 diet and stuff like that where your body's like a temple," the Tigers' signal caller said. "You want to be able to treat your body like a Ferrari. I stopped eating fast food and trying to treat (my body) like a high-engine car, like a fancy car. Kind of just like good stuff in your body, and that's what I've been doing." - The State
