26 ■ THE WOLFPACKER
BY ANNABELLE MYERS
randon Cleveland likes to
win. Just check out his so-
cial media pages. Almost
every day — sometimes
more than once a day —
the senior nose tackle
posts mouthwatering im-
ages of his lunches or din-
ners. Sometimes from a local restaurant,
but more often from his own kitchen and
made by his own hands. The post will
always include the words "WIN THE
MEAL."
Other times there are shots from his
morning workout. Or maybe his after-
noon workout. Or sometimes even his
evening workout (note the theme: he
works out OFTEN). On these posts, "WIN
THE WORKOUT" is the text that accom-
panies the photo or video.
And then, maybe not as often, but most
important, Cleveland might post a photo
of the sky or a tree. His message is simply,
"WIN THE DAY."
While social media posts about win-
ning don't necessarily equate to victories
on the football field, the mentality behind
them does. And that winning mentality is
something that Cleveland has embraced
for himself, that he wants to help encour-
age in his team and that he wants to share
with the world.
