Leon Orr tweets apology for walking out on Gators

Florida Gators defensive lineman Leon Orr seems to be regretting an awfully strong stance he took over the weekend prior to UF’s game against Vanderbilt.

Earlier Monday on Twitter, Orr sent out a series of tweets and apologized for walking out on his football team.

I’ll have my chance to respond on the proper format , I won’t tongue wrestle fans or try to fit my reasoning in a tweet …

And kill the bus jokes I made it home safely in a rental before the players and congratulated my teammates on their win personally … !

I made the mistake of putting my families future ahead of my team and for that I am truly sorry it’ll haunt me forever …

According to head coach Will Muschamp, Orr was upset when he found out he wasn’t starting and gave Muschamp an ultimatum of starting him or he would leave.

Muschamp promptly sent Orr home on a bus back to Gainesville and the head coach told the media after the game that Orr was no longer a part of the football team.

As of today, Muschamp said Orr’s status has not changed and there’s nothing he can do to rejoin the football team.
