Country music sensation Jelly Roll recently unveiled his remarkable 200-pound weight loss, making an appearance on ESPN’s College GameDay just before embarking on his tour in Australia.

The artist, known for hits like “Wild Ones,” appeared upbeat and fit as he took on the role of celebrity guest picker this past weekend. Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, enthusiastically shared his predictions for the top college football matchups on Saturday, October 18.

Among his bold choices, the 40-year-old was the lone voice predicting a victory for the Volunteers over the Alabama Crimson Tide. Unfortunately for him, the Tennessee team fell short, losing 37-20.

Jelly Roll also predicted a win for the Georgia Bulldogs against Ole Miss, aligning with fellow panelists Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, and Pat McAfee. Their foresight proved accurate, as the Bulldogs clinched a 43-35 victory.

During his appearance, Jelly Roll expressed a mix of emotions towards Saban, noting his family’s complex relationship with the sports figure. He shared that while his family had a deep admiration for Saban, they were equally fervent in their dislike. This dynamic was further complicated by his father’s allegiance to Vanderbilt, contrasting with the rest of the family’s loyalty to Tennessee.

While viewers raved over his spirited commentary, several fans couldn’t help but be amazed by his fitness transformation. The chart-topping performer, who once weighed 550 pounds, has lost nearly 200 pounds since the beginning of his wellness journey in 2022.

He was spotted yet again at the Sydney Airport on Tuesday, October 21, rocking a black hoodie while carrying a backpack before the launch of his first-ever Australian headlining tour. He’ll be hitting the stage for nine shows from Friday, October 24 to Thursday, November 6.

The music artist previously lost between 60 to 70 pounds on his Beautifully Broken tour and it’s likely he’ll be just as active and busy this time around.

Jelly Roll celebrated a personal milestone in his health journey in September, captioning a photo of himself, “I can fit in Louis Vuitton now. Pray for my bank account.”

He isn’t showing any signs of slowing down anytime soon, either.

“I wanna be on the cover of Men’s Health by March of 2026,” Jelly Roll said about his hopes for the future during an appearance on wife Bunnie Xo’s “Dumb Blonde” podcast in December 2024. “That’s my new goal. I wanna have one of the biggest transformations.”

A month before that interview, he spoke to People about embracing a healthier lifestyle for longevity.

“The battle was with the food addiction, changing the way I’ve looked at food for the last 39 years,” he told the outlet in November 2024. “I’ve never had a healthy relationship with food, so that was the hard part. But once you get into that discipline and commitment, it’s like an avalanche. Once that little snowball started rolling, it was on its way.”

Jelly Roll also shed light on his “tour culture” while on the road, noting it used to revolve around “alcohol and drugs.”

He said there has since been a noticeable shift and the focus is now “around good eating and around exercising and doing emotional check-ins with our crew every day.”
