How North Carolina high school football coach, former Tar Heel Jupiter Wilson lost nearly 100 pounds
Posted Aug 12, 2019
About a year ago, new Hickory Ridge High football coach Jupiter Wilson weighed 385 pounds. That was nearly 70 more than when he played offensive line at North Carolina from 1999 to 2003. “I just wasn’t feeling good about myself,” Wilson said. So he paid $500 to join a six-week, weight-loss challenge. If he lost 25 pounds, he would get his money back.
