Last month, Georgia Bulldogs freshman defensive lineman Jamaal Jarrett caused quite a stir when he made some racially insensitive remarks while watching former teammate Jalen Carter be selected in the NFL Draft, and now he’s apologizing.

During an Instagram Live video, Jamaal Jarrett could be heard suggesting that the Atlanta Falcons should select teammate Jalen Carter. Jarrett could be heard saying “Come on you Asian,” directed toward a fan making the announcement before making some racially-insensitive sounds mocking the way Asian people speak.

On Wednesday, Jarrett posted a statement on social media apologizing for the incident.

“Recently I made racially insensitive remarks on my social media platform. I feel ashamed by my actions that have caused tremendous hurt and pain, especially to those in the AAPI community, and I truly do apologize. I did not mean any hate or harm towards anyone,” the statement said.

“Over the past several days I have learned more about the AAPI community and the increased hate crimes that have been directed towards members of the community. I have come to understand more clearly where I messed up and why this behavior was wrong. The type of language I used is harmful, and there is no place for it anywhere.”

Jarrett promises to learn from this mistake.

“As we celebrate AAPI Heritage Month, I plan to continue learning and talking with students and others on our campus and in Athens to learn how I can support the AAPI community. I promise I will learn from this mistake and do better,” he said.
