One of the best high school football players in the country had his Florida scholarship offer pulled this weekend … after he was seen on video rapping the n-word.
Marcus Stokes posted the quick, two-second clip on his social media page last week — appearing to show the quarterback recruit singing, “Welcome back, n***a.”
Almost immediately afterward, the Nease H.S. athlete, who’s white, received backlash for it {snip}
“I was in my car listening to rap music, rapping along to the words and posted a video of it on social media,” Stokes explained on his Twitter page on Sunday.
“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.”
Stokes continued, “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.”
