Florida QB recruit loses scholarship after rapping n-word

Marcus Stokes is no longer headed to the Florida Gators.

A video recently surfaced on social media of Stokes dropping the n-word while in his car. The video is only a few seconds long, which doesn’t allow for much context.

In the very short clip, which Stokes filmed himself, you can hear him say, “Welcome back, n***a.”

“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.
