OSU's Sullinger Continues Weight Loss - Lost Lettermen

As we've followed for most of the summer, bruising Ohio State forward Jared Sullinger has been dropping a lot of weight. Look below for a shot of the new-look Sullinger (we know, the self picture in the mirror is really creepy).

The Columbus Dispatch reported late last month that the 6-foot-9 Sullinger had slimmed down to 269 pounds after weight almost 290 last season. Based on the photo, it looks like he's even lighter than that as the Buckeyes' season approaches.

Sullinger has drastically changed his eating habits, according to multiple reports, and continued a rigorous offseason workout program.

"With all the running we do, the strength and conditioning we do, all the open gyms we have, it's only a matter of time before the weight starts to fall off," Sullinger told the Cleveland Plain Dealer in July.

Sullinger's weight loss is smart, seeing as though he won't be able to overpower opponents with his girth in the NBA. But we must say, based on the photo, he looks like he's ready for a triathlon rather than a basketball season in the pivot.
