After a discussion with @NIUCoachHammock I no longer have an offer at Northern Illinois university… this is incredibly sad for my and my family as I worked so hard to get to this point. I will come out of this stronger, as God always has a plan for me #AGTG 🙏🙏🙏🙏😭 pic.twitter.com/ABOF3WgK08

He then blocked the fake recruit:

Eventually news made its way to Hammock that he was dealing with a virtual quarterback, and not a real one. The NIU coach joked at his own expense.
Due to NCAA rules I’m not allowed to comment on specific recruits- even from the class of ‘14. I would like to state that all of our offers are committable & come personally from me. People pull offers every day, we’re not in that business. Honesty is a policy. Man he got me.😂🤣

This was absolutely fantastic, and just another sign we need sports back.
