Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield has formally apologized for his arrest over the weekend.

The junior provided an extended apology on his Twitter account, directed at the coaching staff, his teammates, his family and friends, as well as Sooners fans:

“I made the biggest mistake of my life by putting myself in this situation,” Mayfield wrote. “I know that I represent the University of Oklahoma on a very large scale, therefore I know better than to bring bad attention and scrutiny to the school and the people that I love. The shame, guilt, and embarrassment I have felt over the past few days and continue to feel is something I would never wish upon anybody.
