Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, the Heisman Trophy runner-up, apologized Sunday for "being disrespectful" in a social media post he made after Indiana's Fernando Mendoza won the award for college football's best player.
"F-All THE VOTERS," Pavia wrote Saturday night on his Instagram story with a thumbs-down emoji, "BUT…..FAMILY FOR LIFE."
The caption accompanied a photo of Pavia with his offensive linemen at the ceremony in New York.
Pavia faced criticism for his reaction, and on Sunday he posted a statement saying he didn't handle his emotions well after losing.
Heisman Trophy: Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia apologizes for 'disrespectful' post
Disappointed after finishing runner-up in final Heisman voting, Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia blasted those whose final ballots did not include him ahead of Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Pavia re-posted an image from comedian Theo Von on Instagram showing himself with family and friends on the red carpet with the caption, "F-ALL THE VOTERS, BUT … FAMILY FOR LIFE" with a thumbs down emoji.
Following a landslide of negative reaction from Pavia's post, the SEC Player of the Year published a lengthy apology.
"Being a part of the Heisman ceremony last night as a finalist was such an honor," Pavia wrote Sunday. "As a competitor, just like in everything I do I wanted to win. To be so close to my dream and come up short was painful. I didn't handle those emotions well at all and did not represent myself the way I wanted to. I have much love and respect for the Heisman voters and the selection process, and I apologize for being disrespectful. It was a mistake, and I am sorry.
