Hours after winning college football’s most prestigious award, Oklahoma University quarterback Kyler Murray apologized on Sunday for using homophobic language in a series of tweets dating from 2011 and 2012.
“I used a poor choice of word that doesn’t reflect who I am or what I believe. I did not intend to single out any individual or group,” he said.
Murray was awarded the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night for leading fourth-ranked Oklahoma to a 12-1 record and a spot in the College Football Playoff.
