Florida Gators pull their scholarship offer from star high school quarterback after he posted a video online saying the “N-word”
Marcus Stokes is no longer headed to the Florida Gators. Sometimes you have to be careful what you say, and Marcus is finding that out the hard way.
The white quarterback made this video below of him rapping and he blatantly says the N-word, which has cost him a scholarship offer from the Gators.
Marcus Stokes is a four-star recruit in the 2023 class and has had several major offers before committing to the Gators. Well, he is now available again.
Stokes apologized for the comments, but this is a crazy situation.
“I was in my car listening to rap music, rapping along to the words and posted a video of it on social media. I deeply apologize for the words in the song that I chose to say. It was hurtful and offensive to many people, and I regret that. I fully accept the consequences for my actions, and I respect the University of Florida’s decision to withdraw my scholarship offer to play football,” Stokes shares in a Sunday statement released on Twitter.
We always tell kids not to say dumb things on Twitter and try to tell them that posting lyrics will get them in trouble. Well, here you go!
