Life comes at you fast, and in this case USC football player Josh Shaw got railroaded, by himself. After the mounting pressure of Shaw’s heroic story of rescuing his drowning nephew and sustaining sprains on both ankles; the truth finally came out.
Josh Shaw lied his ass off.
“We are extremely disappointed in Josh,” said USC head football coach Steve Sarkisian. “He let us all down. As I have said, nothing in his background led us to doubt him when he told us of his injuries, nor did anything after our initial vetting of his story.
“I appreciate that Josh has now admitted that he lied and has apologized. Although this type of behavior is out of character for Josh, it is unacceptable. Honesty and integrity must be at the center of our program. I believe Josh will learn from this. I hope that he will not be defined by this incident, and that the Trojan Family will accept his apology and support him.”
