Penn State kicker Joey Julius went public with his eating disorder battle last October and has recently resumed treatment in St. Louis, he announced in a Facebook post.

“I have been struggling over the last couple months with my eating disorder,” Julius wrote. “It got to the point where I had to return to St. Louis to seek further treatment at the McCallum Place. Recovery is a wonderful and beautiful thing that I am working on.”

Julius did not play in last month's spring game or the Nittany Lions' spring practices.

Last year, Julius announced that he had a binge-eating disorder and underwent treatment from early May 2016 to late July 2016 at McCallum Place in St. Louis.

He plans on blogging his recovery.
