Florida State star defensive lineman Marvin Wilson disputed that new Seminoles coach Mike Norvell reached out to players individually to discuss last week’s death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and Wilson said he and his teammates would not be working out until further notice.
During an interview with Athletic reporter Tashan Reed earlier this week, Norvell reportedly said he “had a lot of open communication” with his players and “went back and forth individually with every player this weekend.”
“And that was something that was important to me because this is a heartbreaking time in our country,” Norvell said, according to The Athletic. “You see hate and you see discrimination. You see some of the acts that have occurred; I mean it’s a problem. And it’s something that we have to stand together and we have to work to get it fixed.”
In a post to Twitter early Thursday morning, Wilson disputed that Norvell had one-on-one discussions with players, and said FSU players only received a “generated” text from Norvell.
