«I was in my car listening to rap music, rapping to the beat of the words and I posted a video on social media,» he wrote. «I deeply apologize for the words of the song that I chose to say. It was hurtful and offensive to many people, and I’m sorry.

«I fully accept the consequences of my actions and respect the University of Florida’s decision to withdraw my football scholarship offer. I never meant to hurt anyone and I recognize that even when I accompany a song, my words still carry a lot of weight. I will strive to be better and become the best version of myself on and off the field.
