After initially denying a photo of Trayvon Martin was used during a team meeting, former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer told The Columbus Dispatch he has learned that the photo was used during a freshman meeting, but he was unaware.
This comes after former Buckeyes cornerback Marcus Williamson tweeted a picture of Martin, a 17-year-old shot and killed in 2012, and said the photo was shown to players via a PowerPoint presentation to enforce the team's “no hoodie rule.” Martin was infamously killed while wearing a hoodie.
Former Ohio State player Tyvis Powell later learned that a photo of Martin was used during a freshman meeting to enforce the rule, several former players told him, he said.
