On Monday, Florida defensive lineman Luke Ancrum posted a photo on Instagram in which he appears to be choking a Georgia player during this past Saturday’s game.
However, Ancrum took to Twitter to defend himself, stating that he wasn’t choking the player in the photo.
Ancrum replied to a tweet from Reddit’s college football subreddit, claiming that an official saw the play unfold and that he was never choking the player. Look at Ancrum’s tweet below:

The Gators and Bulldogs are rivals, and Florida players were likely frustrated by its 36-17 loss to Georgia.
It is still an odd decision that Ancrum decided to post this photo, even if he wasn’t actually choking the Bulldogs player like it appears.
