Urban Meyer Responds to Marcus Williamson's Claim About Trayvon Martin Photo

Ohio State's Marcus Williamson announced his retirement from football over the weekend, and did not play in the Rose Bowl against Utah. Instead, he took to Twitter to post his thoughts on the college football industry as a whole, and also took aim at former OSU coach Urban Meyer.

“As a 17 early enrollee. Urban Meyer told me he'd ‘ruin my f—- life’ if he ever caught me smoking,” Williamson said during his Twitter thread. Two messages later, he shared a photo of Trayvon Martin that he claims Meyer used as an example for his “no hoods” policy for the Ohio State program.
