Will Muschamp tells former recruit ‘I screwed up’

Colleges cannot hand out an unlimited number of scholarships, but former Florida head coach Will Muschamp regrets not extending one to now-Kentucky receiver Garrett Johnson.

Muschamp, who is now the defensive coordinator at Auburn, approached Johnson following Thursday night’s clash between the programs and acknowledged the mistake made two years ago.

J.T. Beisner of KSTV shared the video of the moment when Muschamp told the sophomore wideout, “I screwed up. I’m a dumb[butt]. You’re a [heckuva] player.”
