Florida DL Luke Ancrum defends Instagram photo in which he appears to be choking Georgia player
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:
For everybody think I’m choking this man…the ref was right there and seen the whole play. Obviously y’all didn’t watch the goaline play that happened. Watch it and let me know when did I choke him cause obviously the picture just shows the ending results after he got hit

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.
Florida football in a nutshell. I watched the video, and he sat on Harris for an extra 2-3 seconds afterwards.
Well, if the ref “seen” the whole play, it’s all good.
i’m sure the Georgia roster is stacked with a bunch of model citizens huh… lol, man you Georgia fans are beyond a shadow of a doubt the most delusional idiots in not just the SEC but in all of college football… and it’s not even close… get ready to get your @$$es handed to you in the coming years by the Gators
hahaha and Joe, please, if there is a fan base that wants to comment on grammar… it can’t be Georgia lmao… that made my day hahah
Can’t wait dip $hit. My delusion includes the 2017 SEC and Rose Bowl trophies and 2 UF butt whippings in a row. Your delusion is Felipe Franks as a real QB and “Third and Grantham”.
2 butt whippings in a row… hilarious!! Congrats buddy, now you’ve got 13 more to go to even out the series over the last 29 years. By the way, if you want to call that a butt whipping, maybe go back and watch the game sober. Pretty sure that’ll be the last time for a while that UGA strings together 2 wins. That was a team coming off a 4 win season that was an absolute dumpster fire before Mullen took over, in year 1 of a rebuild, that gave all your 5 star players everything they had. The Gators were clearly the more physical team and anyone with half a brain could see that. Count your lucky stars that the secondary was down to a bunch of 4th string players, otherwise we’d be having a different conversation right now. Enjoy your time at the top of the East while you can, cause it won’t be lasting long. By the way, it’s pretty pathetic you have to resort to bragging about a Rose Bowl trophy cause your team choked away the big one. You know the one the Gators have won 3 times since most of us were old enough to enjoy. Mark my words, the Gators will win another before Georgia does.
Doesn’t UGA lead the series? Why do they need to even out the series?
I think it’s disingenuous to say that this was a beatdown, but I also think it’s deceptive to compare UF to the typical team coming off a 4-win season. They still had a lot of talent, but they also had some suspensions and major coaching issues. 2 seasons ago they won their division and finished as a top 15 team, so that’s not a total rebuild job.
All you Floridiots do is talk sh!t. Literally. There will be no handing us anything. You lose almost your whole o-line and a ton of talent on defense. Your recruiting sucks and your coach has no control over the toxic culture your namesake left behind. You had idiotic Florida players running around intimidating students with frying pans and airsoft rifles with a dumb@ss named “Tay-bang.” How embarassing. Our team is the youngest in the SEC with 68.5% freshman. Next year will be MUCH WORSE when you are rebuilding and our young players turn into experienced upperclassmen.
42-7
36-17
And next year’s will be another blow out.
*68.5% underclassmen.
Delusional: UGA thinking we could beat Florida? Delusional, Florida thinking they could be Georgia? Now which is which? Delusional: Thinking Florida is on the cusp of more glory years and your team is going to hand us our a$$es in coming years. You can give us some warning if you will let us know when those years will be here.
Delusional is actually thinking your Bama East after 1 year. Bama is going to show you real quick how delusional that is, if you actually get past UK that is, which is debatable since your team needed a late 4th qtr run to finally put away a team coming off a 4 win season that was clearly the more physical team, who had a QB handing the ball to you in the redzone and a severely depleted secondary missing 3 starters. This game simply put a band aide on your team that’s underperforming and you’ll realize that real quick. Not sure how any UGA fan could’ve watched that game and came out as confident as you guys seem to be.
oh no, a whole 2-3 seconds. That’s unacceptable football practice, someone get the bat phone
Typical GAYTURD douchebag response. Look at the comments on the instagram page. Hahahaha his dumba$$ family thinks it’s jake Fromm …..typical ignorant, uneducated thug behavior from turd players and fans!
Are you sure you want to call someone uneducated with the loose grasp of the English language you just displayed?
Ouch.
Thanks for Bulletin Board Material Luke… probably wouldn’t be an issue if you just let it be, but that’s ok. See you next year, pal.
There should be no “see you next year”. He should be dismissed from the team for bragging about his thug behavior and if Mullen won’t do it, the President of the University needs to kick him out of the university immediately.
Woah, woah, woah. At the very most, kicked off the team. Not the University. Might affect the student body fat percentage very badly. They need athletes.
I meant that the President should kick him out of the university if Mullen doesn’t kick him off the team. I doubt Mullen will take this very seriously-I think he’s Meyer 2.0
Trash program. Not news. The real choking here was Florida choking the game away in the second half after all that sh!t talk the players and the fans spewed the last two weeks.
AMEN. If Fromm could face “Third and Grantham” all the time he would be way ahead of Tua for the Heisman.
I love how you Dawg fans keep claiming it was Grantham’s fault. Show me a defensive coordinator in the nation that can overcome that many injuries to starters on top of having a starter sitting out the game as punishment and not miss a beat. It’s really funny seeing all the trash talk and then UGAFlyfisherman actually claiming we choked that game away. You’re exactly right, we did, which is not a good look considering the talent separation. That’s actually an indictment of your own team. On paper, UGA should’ve dominated this game like they did last season and not needed the opposing team to choke it away. Man you guys are clueless. Good luck against another top team that’s at full strength and not turning it over. You guys are in for a rude awakening.
Stupid is as stupid does. This fool has 5 tackles for the entire YEAR. I guess he heard that old saying “bad publicity is worse than no publicity”.
