William Sweet Making Big Gains

Posted Jun 18, 2015
Back in Jacksonville, Florida for high school graduation last week, William Sweet had a surprise for family members who hadn’t seen him in months. Some 18-year-olds put on a freshman 15 during their first semester of college. For Sweet, it’s been more like a freshman 30. “Oh yeah, we could see that he’d picked up some extra pounds,” William Sweet’s father, William Jr. says. (Inside Carolina)
