A fact from John Ojukwu appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 August 2023 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that to gain weight to increase his chance of being a college football
offensive lineman, John Ojukwu went on a diet that included drinking a gallon of milk a day and sometimes whole pizzas?

... that in order to gain size to increase his chance of being a college football
offensive lineman, John Ojukwu went on a diet that included daily gallons of milk and sometimes whole pizzas? Source:
The Times-News ("Added sophomore tight end John Bates: 'I know at one point he was drinking close to a gallon [of milk] a day, maybe more' ... Ojukwu was about 185 pounds his junior year with the Braves, and he decided he really wanted to play offensive line in college. So he ate, and he ate, and he drank, adding nearly 100 pounds in about nine months ... 'It really is a full-time job,' Ojukwu said. 'You've got to have the good things like milk, but sometimes you go for the bad stuff, like a couple of pizzas.'")
New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Hook fact checks out and should be an attention grabber.
