If Ohio State football fans were waiting for former linebacker K’Vaughan Pope to chime in after Marcus Williamson’s long, unflattering look at the Buckeye football program, they got their wish on Monday.
Pope, who quit the 2021 team mid-game against Akron in September, tweeted a list of grievances about the current state of the Buckeye program. Some fell along the same lines as those from Williamson, who criticized coaches and levied claims of racism against former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer during the Buckeyes’ 48-45 win over Utah in the Rose Bowl.
Pope told potential recruits in a Monday tweet that if you go to Ohio State, be prepared to be viewed “as a hoodlum (because you’re vocal).”
He said coaches were disrespectful and unfair and that opinions were ignored.
During a 59-7 win over Akron, Pope had a sideline altercation and was escorted to the locker room where he sent several tweets, used a variation of an expletive and wished his team good luck.
He later deleted the tweet, was removed from the program and entered the transfer portal.

Marcus Williamson Twitter fallout
Williamson graduated in 2020 and was a graduate player this season. He is a former All-Big Ten scholar athlete. He tweeted he “retired” before the Rose Bowl and aired his grievances about the OSU program on Saturday.
His tweets during the Rose Bowl prompted several former Buckeyes to give their opinions on Meyer and the Buckeye program.
However, Williamson tweeted Monday that several unnamed current and former players had reached out to him in support of his opinions:
Current Ohio State offensive lineman Dawand Jones, a junior reportedly considering his NFL options, quoted Williamson’s tweet from Sunday that criticized people trying to discredit him.
Cardale Jones, the 2014 national championship hero said he was sure a “large number” of former Buckeyes would disagree with Williamson
