I was 147 lbs as a freshman, 170 as a senior, and 4 years later I was 205. And I was not a professional athlete or heavy into lifting during that 4 year span. I was in the Army though so there was physical exercise. That was a 21% increase in weight and mass over 8 years.

Brian Cushing had a 35% increase, but he was playing football and lifting heavy while in college. It is not much of a stretch to see those type of gains when you are working hard.

Hell, nowadays (12 years later) I'm pushing 230, but I need to get back to 195-205...beer hasn't been kind to me.
