Quarterback Marcus Stokes has been offered a scholarship by an HBCU school after losing his scholarship offer to the University of Florida for using an anti-Black slur while singing a rap song in a video that was posted on social media.
Stokes, who is white, posted on Twitter he has received an offer from Albany State University:
