Princely Umanmielen releases statement acknowledging postgame actions at Florida
Princely Umanmielen, a current Ole Miss defensive end, is well-known in Gainesville.
After all, Umanmielen played for Florida from 2020-2023, racking up 99 total tackles, 26 tackles for loss and 7 sacks as he rose up NFL Draft boards over a 4-year career with the Gators.
He opted to transfer to Ole Miss for his final year of eligibility, and the Gator faithful let him hear about it during the Rebels’ 24-17 loss to Florida on Saturday.
Towards the end of the game, Umanmielen was the target of plenty of comments from fans, and it led to him leaving the field early and attempting to charge up the ramp outside of the stadium to approach fans that were directing messages at him.
Umanmielen had to be held back by security soon after, and he was then escorted to the team’s bus.
Is Princely Umanmielen okay??? Tried to fight fans after the game

Umanmielen released a statement Sunday on what occurred in the moment:
“I did let my emotions get the best of me due to people yelling recklessly at me, but putting my hands on anyone wasn’t even a thought,” Umanmielen wrote in an X post. “Nevertheless I had fun in my last game in The Swamp, brought back amazing memories. Wish we could’ve left w the dub. Regardless God is always good. The bible’s says “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. I loved every-bit of my 4 years at Florida and wouldn’t trade it for anything. God bless all of you”
I did let my emotions get the best of me due to people yelling recklessly at me, but putting my hands on anyone wasn’t even a thought. Nevertheless I had fun in my last game in the swamp, brought back amazing memories. wish we could’ve left w the dub. Regardless God is always…

Kinda lame of an apology since he brought it on himself with all the sheet he talked after leaving the team and up to gameday so don’t go blaming those “yelling recklessly” when Im sure you would have continued to troll if you would have won the game
BTW, once again I school the pretenders how to do First. You know who you are
Doesn’t count for Ole Miss articles, fool…but if it did you would be numero uno and me n leeland would pretend to be gracious losers. Oh well, try harder
SDS placed it on the Gator page, not the OM page, otherwise I wouldn’t have seen this article. Just saying… :)
Once again, the wisdom of the ages is proven in real life. If you can’t say something nice, say nothing at all.
Princely could have avoided the entire ugly incident if he’d simply kept his trap shut after transferring to Ole Miss.
Live and learn!
ChatGpT did a great job with that apology. He said all he needed to I’ve the last 12 months. Karma is alive and well.
Go Gators
*over
Recruited by Mullen. One wears a ski mask the other a darth Vader mask.
When you run your mouth and then don’t back it up, this is what you get, and it is what you deserve.
Yelling recklessly? Please elaborate!
Does this guy have issues?
He’s changing his name from Princely to Thugsly.
Yelling recklessly? Is that like making departing comments recklessly.
Lol
Thank goodness our players only drive recklessly, that yelling recklessly is bad news…
How’s that old saying go Humper? “Sticks and stones will break my bones, but reckless drivers will really kill me!” Or something like that.
Only if they’re yelling I suppose…
But I think it goes “sticks and stones will break our bones, and then the WLOCP ends and we go back to hogtown with another L to get ready for the next game” or something like that…
Somebody woke up ornery this morning.
After barely winning against a walk on 3rd string QB, which is tough to do. Actually, Texas handled that QB pretty well, hmmm… ;)
Apologies guys n gals, so sorry for the cantankerous replies, after sharing a bottle of red wine and breaking bread with a few family members we rarely see last night, later on that ponder fellow came for a visit and together we recognized perhaps too much pssn on your cornflakes. My second favorite fanbase on this site has been so beaten down these past few years that it’s refreshing to see all the hope and positivity restored, if not for a moment in time. Please, enjoy your ray of sunshine and accept my sincere wishes of your team’s return to relevance. Truth be told if I could steal any QB from the portal, Arch 1st DJ 2nd. They are the future of our league. Cheers mates.
Apology accepted Humper. BTW, the only way UGA steals DJ from the Gators now is for Napier to flake out again next fall and get both himself and Stricklin fired. I wouldn’t put it past Sunbelt Billy, so there’s hope yet for you.
In that case, UGA better have a lot of $$$ to throw at DJ, because they’ll be competing against A&M, which is closer to his home in Texas and has boosters with more money than sense.
On the other hand, if Napier doesn’t flake out and completes his Hogtown rebuild with the additional $10 million in NIL money made available by his retention in 2025, then we can all look forward to a Cocktail Party next year that should be fun for both side, at least until it ends for one side.
We won’t need DJ, I’m pretty sure Stockton will win the Heisman and return for us with 2 more years of eligibility…
By the way STL…you do remember our preseason UF 7-5 saves Billy’s job upside conversation you guys gave me crpp about, yes? Well don’t look now but here we are…just like the Mullet warnings I gave y’all, no extra charge, you’re welcome.
Indeed I remember Humper. It’s been a strange and wretched journey for Gator Nation to arrive at where we stand today. If you foresaw just half of the twists and turns that got us here, then you’re wasting God given talent playing golf and jawboning with us mere mortals.
Just saying.
I’m retired, don’t have time to save the world anymore…besides I’m an alpha omega kind of prognosticator, twists and turns are just filler material…don’t see the need to waste time dwelling on them. It was, and it is with Billy, just like I said. He’s a likable fella, I still wish him well even if eventually it may be at our expense after Kirby retires.
