Reedout a full transcription of the quotes on Tuesday, explaining that he asked Norvell"given the racial construction of the roster, whether #FSU had 'done anything as a staff to check in with them a little bit more in what may be a challenging time for them on another level?'"
Norvell replied that he"had a lot of open communication" with his players,"and that was something that was important to me because this is a heartbreaking time in our country."that Norvell's account was a"lie," disputing the coach had one-on-one discussions with players, and said FSU players only received a"generated text that was sent to everybody."
Wilson also stated that"me and my teammates as a whole are outraged and we will not be working out until further notice;" FSU players returned to campus earlier this week. FSU offensive lineman Darius Washington, defensive end Jamarcus Chatman, and cornerback Isaiah Bolden have shared Wilson's tweet."You see hate, and you see discrimination. You see some of the acts that have occurred; I mean it's a problem," Norvell
The Athletic."And it's something that we have to stand together, and we have to work to get it fixed."FSU players returned to campus on Monday for voluntary workouts after a three-month hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic. Wilson, a captain and the team's best defensive player, declared for the 2020 NFL draft and would have been an early-round pick, but decided to return for his senior season.
