Marcus Stokes, a four-star quarterback recruit who lost his University of Florida scholarship offer after rapping the n-word on video, has received a new offer from an HBCU, Albany State University.

as a Gator in November after he posted a quick video of him singing the n-word on camera on his social media page. He apologized for it afterward, calling it"hurtful and offensive to many people" -- but his recruitment skidded to a halt.

Stokes said Tuesday he was"blessed" to receive the new college interest from Albany State -- adding in an additional tweet that he was going to"find my home" as National Signing Day kicks off next week., Stokes is also receiving interest from Division II school West Florida -- and is planning a visit there this week.

Stokes, rated as one of the best H.S. quarterbacks in the country, starred at Nease High School in Florida the past few seasons ... and was initially slated to attend Penn State, before flipping commitments to the Gators.

Which n word? There are many.

They going to beat his ass the first day on campus.

Now he can learn to exfoliate his face

Shocking really

Too bad but he should have known better.

I am black and if the word is in a rap song there should be no problem with ANYBODY saying it.

Guessing it wasn’t “Noxema”

Wait, doesn’t context matter anymore? He didn’t say it maliciously.

fr how we have a word in mainstream music that only one race can repeat without fear of cancellation? easily one of the dumbest things we’ve just accepted

Ironic

Good. This is ridiculous

C'mon..I listen to rap and hip hop and the N word is fine in music CLEARLY

It’s the irony for me.

The real Marcus stokes lol

My nigga

Using anHBCU as a step just to leave and go to a PWI soon as another D1 comes to him leaving ASU like they didn’t step in and save him. This is not ok especially for an HBCU. Accepting him is saying what he did is ok and IT’S NOT.

Wow, tht is disgusting. Shame on Albany

Good

Good for him.

For y’all saying he deserves another chance…that chance being to attend a full ride to a HBCU? BFFR

He gonna get beat up

if this tru this world done got soo soft 💯

Good. The young man deserves another chance.

Maybe we should just ban the N word from rap?

He’s a teenager. Deserves another chance

Disgusting, Disrespectful, and Disloyal of Albany State

he will fit in

him showing up on his first day of school like

absolute disgusting. we get it theres a whole different level of rules for white people when being canceled. Black people can beat the shit out their women or assault numerous women. Still keep their jobs. Make anti semetic comments. Keep their jobs & get more jobs(Nick cannon).

If black people are offended by white people saying the N word, then the N word shouldn’t be in every other rap lyrics.

So they offered a limited scholarship to a white kid for saying the N word? Disservice to student that barely missed out.

They gonna jump the sht out that yt boy

He shouldn't have lost his scholarship for rapping to a song. Don't want white kids saying the word don't put it in the music. The bigger question is why is an HBCU giving free money to a white guy? Are there no black athletes that deserve that scholarship?

theNFLchick Make it make sense

WOW 😐 But what is wrong with us! We can NEVER gatekeep! I'm going to blame the dean🙄.

theNFLchick tmz theNFLchick yardtalkhbcu What is AlbanyStateUniv doing?

…it’s all about skin color…

theNFLchick

Good shit, why’d he lose his scholarship over lyrics anyway

It’s a no for me

This reminds me of a certain Paul Mooney clip from Chappelle Show _eDDy_Kane

if its in a song your singing your allowed to say it. if its so offensive maybe black people should quit using it 🤣 but we all know they wont

Wait why is his name Marcus?

Less_HumbleTeej Albany State:

Got to love white liberals who think they are more virtuous than everyone else

Less_HumbleTeej LMAO Albany State: “He lost his scholarship for WHAT

Not surprised lol.

Saw the video! Dude wasn’t malicious at all when he rapped the lyrics. He shouldn’t have loss his scholarship.

If the song had the word in it then so what! Geeeepers you can’t do anything anymore.

He probably felt comfortable because of usage between his teammates at Uni of Florida saying it! However,it landed him in “Swamp” Water🐊 Eminem, the Rapper allegedly felt very comfortable when he started! He wasn’t being racist, the brotherhood he was around. 2nd Chance🏈💛🍀

So happy 2 hear that not everyone is destroying this young man's life 4 saying the exact same thing that a black man or woman can say but if a white man says it then y'all want 3 destroy him. Reverse racism People PLZ start 《SPEAKING UP》

‘Friggin little racist punk.

College Football es lo mejor creado por el Creador en este reino 😂 PepoWoodz imlespier 94Torres_ 13nelson

The only Marcus Stokes I acknowledge

This was the dumbest shit ever. Seriously. Still is. Punishing a kid for singing along with a song is peak cringe.

Didn’t seem to bother a black school. $5 says the person that revoked his scholarship was white.

When you give to much power to a word. Smh

That's kinda unfair you got a lotta dudes in the NFL saying it all the time

Would be a black school
