Ex-FSU QB De’Andre Johnson apologizes for bar fight on Good Morning America (Video)
Dismissed Florida State quarterback De’Andre Johnson spoke to Good Morning America on Tuesday to discuss the bar fight that led to his dismissal from the Seminoles.
It has been an ugly past few days at Florida State where a pair of players were arrested on battery charges for hitting women.
True freshman quarterback De’Andre Johnson was dismissed from the program after video surfaced of him punching a woman in the face inside a Tallahassee bar and Dalvin Cook is suspended indefinitely while he fights the charges he punched a woman outside a bar.
Johnson spoke to the media for the first time on Tuesday when he sat down with Michael Strahan for an interview on Good Morning America and was apologetic for his inexcusable actions in the bar that night.
“There’s no explanation for that. I totally should have walked away,” Johnson said. “I am ashamed of that. I’m sorry. I apologize to the lady in the incident, to her family, to my family, to my mother. I know I wasn’t raised that way.
“If I could do it all over again, I would.”
Johnson wasn’t expected to play this year and was competing for the No. 3 job behind Everett Golson and Sean Maguire who are competing for the starting job. What his future entails is un in the air. I think the junior college route would be the most likely scenario where he can repair his image and try to convince another FBS program to take a chance on him knowing full well what’s in his past.
