Brice Johnson bulks up to take on starter’s role
Posted Nov 14, 2014
During Brice Johnson’s freshman year, he had no interest in picking up the ‘Freshman 15.’ Since then, North Carolina men’s basketball coach Roy Williams has challenged Johnson to bulk up his lanky, 6-foot-9 frame. So now, the junior forward jumps at every chance he gets to eat a little extra. He’s 40 pounds heavier than his freshman self: 228 pounds and counting.
