  04/27/21 - DE Mike TverdovrSr/2022, Rutgers

  Your mileage may vary with Mike Tverdov's strength and conditioning secret weapon -- most people are trying to lose 20 pounds, not gain them -- but it certainly worked for the Rutgers defensive end. Tverdov, who played at 6-foot-4 and 254 pounds last season, was considered undersized by Big Ten standards. So gaining muscle and weight was a focus during the Scarlet Knights' winter workouts. The former Union star has bulked up to 275 pounds thanks to strength coach Jay Butler's program and a nightly ritual -- a protein shake that came in at over 1,000 calories, some Kraft macaroni and cheese and a triple-decker peanut butter and jelly sandwich right before bed. Oh, and if he wanted to sleep in on the weekend? He would make sure he woke up, downed another shake and then he'd fall back asleep. "I feel great. I don't think there's been any decrease in my speed, agility or explosion," Tverdov said. "The coaching staff told me that I look really good, so that's all that matters. I'm just going to keep getting better every day, keep getting stronger and faster. "It just came down to me being disciplined and not taking meals off. Coach talks about sacrifice, and those are just some small sacrifices I made. Now I feel I can be an elite player." - Star Ledger
