The reason the momma walked off is because the boy was apart of a gang in Florida so she wanted him to leave Florida. So any mother in this predicament would’ve walked off too.

nimyep This may be the case, but there's a time and place for them to discuss their issues as a family, behind closed doors. She should have kept her emotions to herself and be there for her son regardless. At least he's going to college and getting an education. If his NFL career doesn't pop off, at least he will have his degree and can strive to be whatever he wants. By her doing this, showed her pettiness and lack of self control. One day, she'll regret this. Peace
Yes congrats but I wonder how many athletes actually take there academics seriously or how many say hey if I produce well for just 1yr or 2 i can get drafted so no need to take my academics seriously
more people like you has to speak out Tiffany, because sadly people will associate you with women like her. Under her watch, the son can barely speak English, and there's Africans who never set foot in America who can speak English 4 times better than him -very sad young men like him start their life behind the 8ball

As an Alabama State University Alumnus and former athlete, my personal endeavors were elevated beyond the sports field because of the leadership and morale at HBCU'S. Unfortunately, it's a terrible irony that our families are solely invested to groom their sons and daughters to be athletes at Predominantly White institutions while opportunities to advance socially and professionally at these same institutions are slim to obsolete. I wonder what public support this talented athlete would receive if he announced by surprise that his top pick was Florida A&M, Bethume Cookman, Miles College, Morehouse, or Hampton University, just to name some of many institutions of higher learning where the practical focus is to prepare our Afro-American athletes to compete beyond the field. This "National Day Decision" only drives the narrative that these institutions are the only avenues for professional athletes. If this were true, the NFL would had never discovered the following athletes... 1) Doug Williams - Grambling State University ( First Afro-American quarterback to be in a Super Bowl - Washington Redskins), 2) Steve McNair - Alcorn State University (Tennessee Titans), 3) Jerry Rice - Mississippi Valley State University (San Fransisco 49'ers), and Walter Payton - Jackson State University ( Chicago Bears). We need more of our 5 star athletes to attend Historically Black Colleges and Universities!
Last I heard his mother walked out because she wanted her son to pick an outta state school because he was gang affiliated. Anybody else heard this...🤕
@@natedagreat_6479 some care. Some donot. Some nevee had the gift of a relationship with their moms so it wouldn't effect them... But , there's something SPECIAL about a Mamas Boy!❤😍🎁 ... its a Beautiful thing indeed.❤💕 God bless this mommas boy.🙏❤🎁
She didn’t want him to go because He had games in Florida and she didn’t want him around that so she said picked other places and he didn’t that’s why she didn’t want her son dead
This how you show your son support , walk out on him , even thought you ain't paying a Damn cent for the him going there .Funny thing she won't support his choice but will demand he support her when he is successful.
miguel santiago-davis no that’s a black woman who didn’t want her son to stay affiliated with the gang he had ties to in Florida. They discussed and he blindsided everyone by choosing Florida on national tv so she couldn’t say anything in the moment.
2:20 No you want the exclusive on the family drama, but don't give them nothing. You do not owe an explanation to the world, GOD Bless the Copeland family.
Damn that’s so sad how could she do that to her own son???? The damage has been done, ain’t no taking it back now. Smh.....he must have felt so embarrassed and hurt.
She was wrong... but I could relate to what mom felt. He grew up in Florida, she wanted her son. Away from all the bull sh.. gun violence and temptations Just the fast life period.
Frosty Black At the end of the day, we all trying to figure out .What made that Mother do what she did to her son, at the most important time of his life ? And really, know one will ever know! But at the end of the day that’s the lady, that gave Birth to him . before we even new, who he was🤔 -Stay Bless💯
Jon Jay Yes was a bad way her mother act, but end of the day the mother supporting him threw his youth. He would not be in this position to pick a school. When I'd played football I had no support from my mom or family, that's a big reason I never played in college I was pretty good. I was Copeland I take this bad moment brush it off and keep it moving
For those who don't know the WHOLE STORY, Copeland was involved in gangs and trouble. His mom didn't want him to stay close to home because she knows he'll get mixed up with that. That's why she stormed out. She wanted her son to go anywhere but Florida. So for those people who are assuming and saying horrible things about his mother, learn the full story first.
mom but still you don't just walk out on your son on HIS big day. He worked hard for it and got three colleges to give him a scholarship. It's hard to go to a D1 college for free.
Because they have gangs in Florida but no gangs in Alabama or Tennessee? Been to Gainesville, didn't see any gangs there, just college kids and professors.
Michael Smith that was really ignorant I am black my mom does not act that way you don’t know why she did that she did that because he had gang affiliation in Florida so she wanted her son to get away from that he could ruin his college life with that especially if he wants to go pro for football he could be cut if they found out,killed , or put in jail because he does something with that gang so don’t say ignorant shit like that unless you have plausible proven facts👎🏾‼️
@@michaelg7251 STFU you is about ignorant as her making this a race thing I see all colors Black & White & Mexicans etc act ignorant not just blacks smdh you need to fucking grow up you and the dumb asses that like your stupid ass remark
DOS 13 that makes no sense, if she was being paid by a school she wouldnt be wearing alabama and tennessee gear. Also she would just support and wait for her son to get to the nfl to get the real checks. This situation is more deep, she is trying to keep her son safe.
She was upset because he had gang related issues down in Florida , and she wanted him to get as far away from it as he could. This was just a heart broken mother that’s trying to protect her child, but at the end of the day, the decision was his to make.
Copeland is involved in a gang in Florida. She wanted him to get out of the state and go elsewhere. I agree she handled it wrong but she probably loves her son and doesn’t want to see him dead or in prison like his brothers
pinga Heart google his name and gang activity and there is numerous articles. Also, his brothers are all locked up for similar shit. It makes way more sense why his mother walked out for that reason because she doesn’t want him to end up like his brothers vs him not choosing Alabama or Tennessee. Also, she has 2 different teams on so it just shows she’s not a die hard of either team.
That poor baby's heart has got to be broken his mom doing that to him on his big day when she's supposed to support him through anything she should have waited for her breakdown when she got home and away from her son to where he couldn't see her I mean that's my opinion this made me cry seeing this
LT1_power _GM As a black child our parents do things we not proud of hell white Hispanics do it but one thang we will always do is be their always and help or parents always we only get one set that’s why he hugged her when she came bk that’s all he wanted he have a weakness for his mother like every child does and she raised him and got him to that point he is at she has a right to and opinion and the right to feel how she wants tv the white man just didn’t like what she did but it’s ok and normal once you know a black family and have grew up In a black home so white people wouldn’t understand just saying 🤷🏿♀️ good day
She wasn't worried about herself, she wants the best for him. It's hard when you have children. When you think they choose unwisely, your heart hurts because you're afraid they will get hurt. It might be that his girlfriend is going there and she doesn't want him distracted. Maybe they have family in TN and AL. I PROMISE you, the only thing she cared about was what is best for her soon. Clearly she didn't think the Gator had it. But hey, I'm a Gator so I think he made a perfect choice.
It isn’t about her it’s all about her son , proud of you young man , just remember to keep God first in everything that you do, blessings to you and your family.🙋🏽♀️🇧🇸🙏
Copeland later called it hilarious what his mom did. Funny he wasn't laughing when she walked out on him in the biggest moment of his life. This was painful to watch. Bummer for him.
Well College sports is big big money, there are still a lot of deals made behind the scenes to get kids to come to their school. Pay offs of cash from boosters, etc. Its a shame these young men are not getting paid something for their labors during college.
I mean get paid for playing college football, it only take one wrong hit to end your career or maybe even your life. If you are a woman I guess you could never understand because you never played contact sports like football. I used to and got hurt, but I was also smart, so I had a out.
Good for him make his own choices and follow his own path to his new life as a mother she should be thankful for all that he has become. Good luck on your new journey
Mike Green I'm hearing she wanted him out of Florida to get him away from the bad influences that ended his brothers life, just an over emotional response at least she came back...
That brought tears to my eyes! No matter WHAT that's his choice and she should have respected that and been there for him.... I feel his pain had someone close to me that I could never make Happy until I realized that I didn't have to!!!
No one clapped when he chose Florida they actually sounded shocked like why would he choose Florida?? Then they kinda felt like they had to clap so it wouldn’t be awkward.On top of that his mom walks off the one person who should always support you when no one else does. She should be ashamed.
don't know what they had been through? why does that even matter? if he wanted to go to some junior college that is his choice. his mom should have been there and been proud of him no matter where he had chosen to go. that is unreal to me. I am an Alabama fan through and through I wanted him to come here but he chose to go to a home state school and I respect that more than anything represent where you come from is what it s all about. he probably would not have gotten to even see the field for 2 years at Alabama with all the WR we have down here right now. I am Happy for this young man and wish him nothing but the Best with the choice he made.
no because Nick Saban was going to pay her for her son to go to Alabama he went to where his heart told him to come to Florida Hometown its every kid from Florida dream to play in Florida when you from Florida
rmorris100 The media is saying this. There's a vid Cope did showing how he grew up. And how he trying to come up. An empty old house, with bullet hole in the window...I think they are making assumptions because of that vid but no proof, vid, nor tweet that Mom made this gang comment. Just messy niggas on some bullshit.
rmorris100 All this is nonsense excuse to count this man out and distract from possible recruiting corruption by Bama and Tenn. Even if he is gangster, he can change his mind to go to school and go for the NFL? Mom didn't have to "air" out his dirty laundry, if that's the case. He's gonna be fine tho.
Exactly and nobody knew the story behind why she walked off. She was wearing everything but Gators because he was affiliated with gangs and she was protective over her son she was afraid he was going to go back there and get himself in trouble I don't blame her 100%. She feel like it was a smack in the face for her and I get it
Just because it's not what she wanted. She should of still stayed and showed support for her son decision. It was his signing day not hers. I'm happy for Jacob and glad he followed his heart
Bruh this man’s family is taking this way to seriously. It’s where your kid is going to college. He’s going where he thinks he can get his best shot in the NFL. Be happy for him, support him. Don’t storm out and cry like a little kid cuz he picked a school. You should be happy that your son gets to pick his schools in the first place! So many kids don’t get that opportunity. Act like an adult and be happy for your kid.
They didn't take it seriously at all. The mother walked off, the grandmother was a vegetable, the one girl was playing on her phone and the couple standing behind him were getting ready to make out. They embarrassed him.
Man, this broke my heart how she did this to him........shameful, like he didn’t have enough pressure on that day without her trying to force him to pick a team she wanted...... *_DAMN._* She realized how she was going to have the world against her with her selfishness and then doubled back to try getting on the gravy train before he disowns her. How did she come to the conclusion that this was *_HER DAY?_* Wasn’t enough that he’s trying to pursue a better education and a better life instead of running the streets.
1Ephraimite She did it because she told him to either go to Ten or Bama because he had gang relations in Florida, and she wanted him to be safe. Then he basically said fuck her and went to Florida anyway.
Jus so you know he was affiliated to a gang in florida. His mom didnt care where he want but just wanted to get him out of FL to keep him safe. Still not saying walking out was right. But thats why she did
Omg yes! Support your son no matter what college he decides to play at ! He is a smart and athletic kid! With dreams that are about to come true! His mom needs to seriously apologize big time
He had gang affiliations in Florida. She wanted him as far away as possible! He told her he wasn’t going to stay in Florida. She was trying to save his life
Bro I don’t know why y’all are saying that the mom did the wrong. He was in a tie with a gang and the mom wanted the best for his life but he decided to turn away.
I’m sure she sacrificed as well but it was his day and she ruined it. We don’t know the background story but I feel for this young man nonetheless. She could’ve been at a sentencing or funeral. He’s going to school for free doing what he obviously loves and I celebrate his success.....one less to the streets! Good luck young man!
She should have hugged him and congratulated him, then walk off.. Poor kid just grew up with bad kids, hopefully he makes the right decisions and concentrates and being the best football player he can be.
She was probably embarrassed because she had on an Alabama shirt. She was probably thinking he let me come here with this shirt knowing he was not choosing Alabama. She was there for him, she did not leave the building. They must be very close and he does love his mother dearly...it is just horrible that people will now think that something is wrong with the family. Nothing's wrong this is how families are sometimes and pretending that they are 100% perfect all the time is the true lie. God bless them both the struggle of life is real.
I agree. He knew he wasn’t going to pick them. You can tell someone before having them wear items. And even if the schools did offer money, maybe the mom was thinking in the long run. Making pro ain’t a guarantee. Shoot save some money, that would be my thinking. Start a saving fund as a back up, be smart. Because when you pay bills you might need that money later.
Hold up! She was wearing Alabama shirt plus Tennessee skull cap as well. So why did you destroyed your son moment in history. Answer she did not give a f***.
That is a damn shame that his mother did that. She should be ashamed of herself for doing that to him. Save your shady ass attitude for the house instead of embarassing him on national tv like that. Don't be embarassed or hurt baby boy, it speaks to her character. WELCOME TO UF!!! GOOOO GATORS!! CHOMP CHOMP!!
She wrong but he told her either Alabama or Tennessee n he pick gators he had her on tv looking like a damn fool wearing 2 differnt colleges she not the only mom who be mad but she shouldn't had walked off its not about her its bout him
Considering the dreams we have for our children and the fact that this kid is a good kid not running the street not addicted to alcohol or drugs not living in his mom's basement doing nothing but playing video games not out there vandalising or terrorizing young women not in jail he's not hurt he doesn't have cancer or a debilitating disease.... of all the things he could be he turned out to be a star athlete and the look of disgust on his mother's face you would think she was walking out of visiting him at jail. What a shame
JACOB ISREAL They can't do it. Being humble is a gateway to being compassionate. These types of black mothers are very selfish and vindictive. she is not a 4 star recruit it wasn't her moment so she did what selfish humans do. She walked out. Typical black woman behavior.
Why are you all dissing the mother? Jacob is affiliated with a gang in Florida and chose Florida Univercity to stay closer to his gang. His mother just wanted him to choose Alabama or Tennessee for his own wellbeing , as she didnt want her son on the streets
Black Kroo-seyd These black women these days ain't shit and that's sad and it breaks my heart. I'm crying right now because I'll never married to my queen because she is too simple minded and selfish. I hate white women because they don't truly understand the black experience

So she had already completely failed as a mother up to that point, so why not just fail some more I guess?
She should be ashamed herself. This was about her son; not her. I feel bad for him.

Hell Yea she did. 💯
Shout out to the man’s behind him with the dread locks. Watch his reaction. That’s a true brother.
Yea but, That’s literally the brother his mama wants him to get away from!!!🤷🏾♂️💯😂🤣😂
As an Alabama State University Alumnus and former athlete, my personal endeavors were elevated beyond the sports field because of the leadership and morale at HBCU'S. Unfortunately, it's a terrible irony that our families are solely invested to groom their sons and daughters to be athletes at Predominantly White institutions while opportunities to advance socially and professionally at these same institutions are slim to obsolete. I wonder what public support this talented athlete would receive if he announced by surprise that his top pick was Florida A&M, Bethume Cookman, Miles College, Morehouse, or Hampton University, just to name some of many institutions of higher learning where the practical focus is to prepare our Afro-American athletes to compete beyond the field. This "National Day Decision" only drives the narrative that these institutions are the only avenues for professional athletes. If this were true, the NFL would had never discovered the following athletes... 1) Doug Williams - Grambling State University ( First Afro-American quarterback to be in a Super Bowl - Washington Redskins), 2) Steve McNair - Alcorn State University (Tennessee Titans), 3) Jerry Rice - Mississippi Valley State University (San Fransisco 49'ers), and Walter Payton - Jackson State University ( Chicago Bears).
We need more of our 5 star athletes to attend Historically Black Colleges and Universities!
Wtf are you talking about "opportunities to advance are slim or obsolete" lol. He can major in anything he wants.
Last I heard his mother walked out because she wanted her son to pick an outta state school because he was gang affiliated. Anybody else heard this...🤕
Nothing is stronger than a mothers love.
Aw! HES A MAMAS BOY YOU CAN TELL!😭😭😭 He actually cares that His mom left! Poor Baby! God bless Him!❤

I'm sorry tears came from my eyes to see his mother walked out on him it's supposed to be his big day
But she did it because she wanted the best for him
She didn’t want him to go because He had games in Florida and she didn’t want him around that so she said picked other places and he didn’t that’s why she didn’t want her son dead
Facts
There was a reason
@@Luke-tw2qp he hasn’t been in any trouble & will start this year
This how you show your son support , walk out on him , even thought you ain't paying a Damn cent for the him going there .Funny thing she won't support his choice but will demand he support her when he is successful.
BIGBOYKDOG And that's a shame in and of itself.
miguel santiago-davis no that’s a black woman who didn’t want her son to stay affiliated with the gang he had ties to in Florida. They discussed and he blindsided everyone by choosing Florida on national tv so she couldn’t say anything in the moment.
She ruined his day unbelievable
2:20 No you want the exclusive on the family drama, but don't give them nothing. You do not owe an explanation to the world, GOD Bless the Copeland family.
Damn that’s so sad how could she do that to her own son???? The damage has been done, ain’t no taking it back now. Smh.....he must have felt so embarrassed and hurt.
And he will never forget. And she will expect him to 'get over it..' and give her money when he makes it big. Sad...
Bianca Ford right
Well she did that just because her son got involved in gang affiliation there that’s why she dont want him to be there
DOS 13 barely speak English? Just cause he talk some type of way doesn't mean he cant speak properly dumb bitch.
Lebrooon Bryant it doesn’t matter the back story bruh i hears he had gang ties in Florida but no matter what, HIS MOTHER HANDLED IT WRONG
That brought me to tears as well..wow I feel like she should have addressed whatever she felt, after the ceremony come on
She was wrong... but I could relate to what mom felt. He grew up in Florida, she wanted her son. Away from all the bull sh.. gun violence and temptations
Just the fast life period.
Frosty Black
At the end of the day, we all trying to figure out .What made that Mother do what she did to her son, at the most important time of his life ? And really, know one will ever know!
But at the end of the day that’s the lady, that gave Birth to him . before we even new, who he was🤔
-Stay Bless💯
This is despicable
Tuscaloosa, Alabama is closer to P'cola than Gainesville so he would be further away at UF.
When he goes pro she’ll have her hand out!
Jon Jay Yes was a bad way her mother act, but end of the day the mother supporting him threw his youth. He would not be in this position to pick a school. When I'd played football I had no support from my mom or family, that's a big reason I never played in college I was pretty good. I was Copeland I take this bad moment brush it off and keep it moving
cevaiom You mad 😡 because you’re broke and you’ll never be shit in life. That’s your fault.
Big Facts
Hell Yea she will.💯
As a Canes fan I hate the gators but will be cheering my head off every time this man catches the ball.... Ball Out Son!!!
For those who don't know the WHOLE STORY, Copeland was involved in gangs and trouble. His mom didn't want him to stay close to home because she knows he'll get mixed up with that. That's why she stormed out. She wanted her son to go anywhere but Florida. So for those people who are assuming and saying horrible things about his mother, learn the full story first.
mom thank you for clarity as a mom I get what you are saying.
mom but still you don't just walk out on your son on HIS big day. He worked hard for it and got three colleges to give him a scholarship. It's hard to go to a D1 college for free.
Because they have gangs in Florida but no gangs in Alabama or Tennessee? Been to Gainesville, didn't see any gangs there, just college kids and professors.
Poor guy.. What a selfish "mother"
Michael Smith that was really ignorant I am black my mom does not act that way you don’t know why she did that she did that because he had gang affiliation in Florida so she wanted her son to get away from that he could ruin his college life with that especially if he wants to go pro for football he could be cut if they found out,killed , or put in jail because he does something with that gang so don’t say ignorant shit like that unless you have plausible proven facts👎🏾‼️
@@michaelg7251 who? You bitch..
@@michaelg7251 STFU you is about ignorant as her making this a race thing I see all colors Black & White & Mexicans etc act ignorant not just blacks smdh you need to fucking grow up you and the dumb asses that like your stupid ass remark
I know this is late as hell, but she wanted her son to get out of FL because of gang affiliations
Absolutely Correct 💯
damn that was harsh of her lol
just what she needed,
she probably did it because the other schools were offering her money or free stuff under the table if he signed with them.
True. I actually didn't "lol" sorry it's just a bad typing tick like ppl who say "um" a lot lol
Truth Stalker I totally agree with you this don't make sense
DOS 13 that makes no sense, if she was being paid by a school she wouldnt be wearing alabama and tennessee gear. Also she would just support and wait for her son to get to the nfl to get the real checks. This situation is more deep, she is trying to keep her son safe.
She was upset because he had gang related issues down in Florida , and she wanted him to get as far away from it as he could. This was just a heart broken mother that’s trying to protect her child, but at the end of the day, the decision was his to make.
Copeland is involved in a gang in Florida. She wanted him to get out of the state and go elsewhere. I agree she handled it wrong but she probably loves her son and doesn’t want to see him dead or in prison like his brothers
Damn
pinga Heart google his name and gang activity and there is numerous articles. Also, his brothers are all locked up for similar shit. It makes way more sense why his mother walked out for that reason because she doesn’t want him to end up like his brothers vs him not choosing Alabama or Tennessee. Also, she has 2 different teams on so it just shows she’s not a die hard of either team.
That poor baby's heart has got to be broken his mom doing that to him on his big day when she's supposed to support him through anything she should have waited for her breakdown when she got home and away from her son to where he couldn't see her I mean that's my opinion this made me cry seeing this
he will forget about her when he make it big time that hurt you the most right there
LT1_power _GM As a black child our parents do things we not proud of hell white Hispanics do it but one thang we will always do is be their always and help or parents always we only get one set that’s why he hugged her when she came bk that’s all he wanted he have a weakness for his mother like every child does and she raised him and got him to that point he is at she has a right to and opinion and the right to feel how she wants tv the white man just didn’t like what she did but it’s ok and normal once you know a black family and have grew up In a black home so white people wouldn’t understand just saying 🤷🏿♀️ good day
That hug at the end didn't do anything, cuz notice he didn't really return the hug. She hurt him bad.
She wasn't worried about herself, she wants the best for him. It's hard when you have children. When you think they choose unwisely, your heart hurts because you're afraid they will get hurt. It might be that his girlfriend is going there and she doesn't want him distracted. Maybe they have family in TN and AL. I PROMISE you, the only thing she cared about was what is best for her soon. Clearly she didn't think the Gator had it. But hey, I'm a Gator so I think he made a perfect choice.
Bill Belichik please draft this guy. He seems humble and will do his job.
It isn’t about her it’s all about her son , proud of you young man , just remember to keep God first in everything that you do, blessings to you and your family.🙋🏽♀️🇧🇸🙏
Copeland later called it hilarious what his mom did. Funny he wasn't laughing when she walked out on him in the biggest moment of his life. This was painful to watch. Bummer for him.
I’m happy she came back she was dead wrong, but I’m sure her coming back meant something to him.
Mom, coming back it's to late!! The SHAME is done!!
Hell Yea it was💯
She was wrong but she obviously raised a great kid. She came back gave him a hug and believe me they will get through it . Facts!
I think we all know why she walked out, and if you don't then you really don't understand about high school kids going to the next level.
Share with us
Well College sports is big big money, there are still a lot of deals made behind the scenes to get kids to come to their school. Pay offs of cash from boosters, etc. Its a shame these young men are not getting paid something for their labors during college.
Nicholas E lmao
RB5630 they go to school for free. What do you mean they don't get paid??
I mean get paid for playing college football, it only take one wrong hit to end your career or maybe even your life. If you are a woman I guess you could never understand because you never played contact sports like football. I used to and got hurt, but I was also smart, so I had a out.
Good for him make his own choices and follow his own path to his new life as a mother she should be thankful for all that he has become. Good luck on your new journey
She wanted that early bag smh
Mike Green I'm hearing she wanted him out of Florida to get him away from the bad influences that ended his brothers life, just an over emotional response at least she came back...
Another rock God have given u to help keep on climbing, build on this despite what People say follow your heart King
That brought tears to my eyes! No matter WHAT that's his choice and she should have respected that and been there for him.... I feel his pain had someone close to me that I could never make Happy until I realized that I didn't have to!!!
Her other son was killed in Florida so she wanted him to choose the other two schools to get away from Florida.
No one clapped when he chose Florida they actually sounded shocked like why would he choose Florida?? Then they kinda felt like they had to clap so it wouldn’t be awkward.On top of that his mom walks off the one person who should always support you when no one else does. She should be ashamed.
Thus made me cry
don't know what they had been through? why does that even matter? if he wanted to go to some junior college that is his choice. his mom should have been there and been proud of him no matter where he had chosen to go. that is unreal to me. I am an Alabama fan through and through I wanted him to come here but he chose to go to a home state school and I respect that more than anything represent where you come from is what it s all about. he probably would not have gotten to even see the field for 2 years at Alabama with all the WR we have down here right now. I am Happy for this young man and wish him nothing but the Best with the choice he made.
1:57 that's exactly the OPPOSITE of what his emotion should be. Damn that must've been painful.
That's his Mom PERIOD!!! DON'T ASSUME GET THE FACTS!!!
Nick took the check back.
Shame on her for walking out on her son like that you should be proud of that child for doing something positive I salute to you Jacob Copeland
She was scared of the trouble that surround him in their own town, she want him to get out of there
Didn't i hear one of his family members got killed?
She needs to get a grip and appreciate that her son is not a statistic and that he is going to college. Not in jail. Not dead. Smh. This is terrible.
no because Nick Saban was going to pay her for her son to go to Alabama he went to where his heart told him to come to Florida Hometown its every kid from Florida dream to play in Florida when you from Florida
JT Rell right
JT Rell Damn right Saban and Kirby and watch those that are HC whom worked with Saban
I hate seeing so many kids from my hometown go to Bama, but it happens all the time
rmorris100 The media is saying this. There's a vid Cope did showing how he grew up. And how he trying to come up. An empty old house, with bullet hole in the window...I think they are making assumptions because of that vid but no proof, vid, nor tweet that Mom made this gang comment. Just messy niggas on some bullshit.
rmorris100 All this is nonsense excuse to count this man out and distract from possible recruiting corruption by Bama and Tenn. Even if he is gangster, he can change his mind to go to school and go for the NFL? Mom didn't have to "air" out his dirty laundry, if that's the case. He's gonna be fine tho.
Exactly and nobody knew the story behind why she walked off. She was wearing everything but Gators because he was affiliated with gangs and she was protective over her son she was afraid he was going to go back there and get himself in trouble I don't blame her 100%. She feel like it was a smack in the face for her and I get it
She came to her senses after she realized that she could be walking away from a lottery ticket.
🤣🤣
Just because it's not what she wanted. She should of still stayed and showed support for her son decision. It was his signing day not hers. I'm happy for Jacob and glad he followed his heart
Wow. How ignorant was that!!
You dont do that its your son its his moment you dont come back after he cried and its gone it is alway in the public
Bruh this man’s family is taking this way to seriously. It’s where your kid is going to college. He’s going where he thinks he can get his best shot in the NFL. Be happy for him, support him. Don’t storm out and cry like a little kid cuz he picked a school. You should be happy that your son gets to pick his schools in the first place! So many kids don’t get that opportunity. Act like an adult and be happy for your kid.
They didn't take it seriously at all. The mother walked off, the grandmother was a vegetable, the one girl was playing on her phone and the couple standing behind him were getting ready to make out. They embarrassed him.
Man, this broke my heart how she did this to him........shameful, like he didn’t have enough pressure on that day without her trying to force him to pick a team she wanted...... *_DAMN._* She realized how she was going to have the world against her with her selfishness and then doubled back to try getting on the gravy train before he disowns her. How did she come to the conclusion that this was *_HER DAY?_* Wasn’t enough that he’s trying to pursue a better education and a better life instead of running the streets.
1Ephraimite She did it because she told him to either go to Ten or Bama because he had gang relations in Florida, and she wanted him to be safe. Then he basically said fuck her and went to Florida anyway.
Where is he now in 2022?
He’s a pittsburgh steeler
Lord knows I still cry when I see this I would have supported my son with whatever team he chooses.
Jus so you know he was affiliated to a gang in florida. His mom didnt care where he want but just wanted to get him out of FL to keep him safe. Still not saying walking out was right. But thats why she did
@@nathanielfriend9748 gangs are everywhere.
@@livinliketc what does that mean? Cause gangs aren’t everywhere crime is everywhere but not gangs no.
Most of people saying it's too late!!! That's proper to American culture. IT'S NEVER TOO LATE FOR YOUR MOM. NEVER TOO LATE. NEVER! Peace for them.
Omg yes! Support your son no matter what college he decides to play at ! He is a smart and athletic kid! With dreams that are about to come true! His mom needs to seriously apologize big time
He is affiliated with gangs in florida. She was being a mother.
@@lyricaldish4561 idgaf she should have waiting till the cameras were off
as a Parent i understand u want your child out of that hood.
Suck them tears up lil bruh ! She showed her true colors .
This is very sad, but he does have gang affiliations in Florida, so she was trying to convince his son to make the right choice.
He had gang affiliations in Florida. She wanted him as far away as possible! He told her he wasn’t going to stay in Florida. She was trying to save his life
Walking away from his biggest moment is still disgusting. she made it all about her and ruined his moment.
5 hours away from his hometown no excuse
So you saying you would’ve did the same thing to basically
Bro I don’t know why y’all are saying that the mom did the wrong. He was in a tie with a gang and the mom wanted the best for his life but he decided to turn away.
This will follow him for the rest of his life smh
*happiest moment of his life* -> *moms walks out* -> *worst moment of his life*
Thanks for keeping the stereotypes alive mom...
I’m sure she sacrificed as well but it was his day and she ruined it. We don’t know the background story but I feel for this young man nonetheless. She could’ve been at a sentencing or funeral. He’s going to school for free doing what he obviously loves and I celebrate his success.....one less to the streets! Good luck young man!
1:58 o, 😢
She should have hugged him and congratulated him, then walk off.. Poor kid just grew up with bad kids, hopefully he makes the right decisions and concentrates and being the best football player he can be.
Stereotypical
Who is my mother and brother those who do my Heavenly father's will. Congratulations to you young man.
She was probably embarrassed because she had on an Alabama shirt. She was probably thinking he let me come here with this shirt knowing he was not choosing Alabama. She was there for him, she did not leave the building. They must be very close and he does love his mother dearly...it is just horrible that people will now think that something is wrong with the family. Nothing's wrong this is how families are sometimes and pretending that they are 100% perfect all the time is the true lie. God bless them both the struggle of life is real.
I agree. He knew he wasn’t going to pick them. You can tell someone before having them wear items. And even if the schools did offer money, maybe the mom was thinking in the long run. Making pro ain’t a guarantee. Shoot save some money, that would be my thinking. Start a saving fund as a back up, be smart. Because when you pay bills you might need that money later.
Hold up! She was wearing Alabama shirt plus Tennessee skull cap as well. So why did you destroyed your son moment in history. Answer she did not give a f***.
That is a damn shame that his mother did that. She should be ashamed of herself for doing that to him. Save your shady ass attitude for the house instead of embarassing him on national tv like that. Don't be embarassed or hurt baby boy, it speaks to her character. WELCOME TO UF!!! GOOOO GATORS!! CHOMP CHOMP!!
She wrong but he told her either Alabama or Tennessee n he pick gators he had her on tv looking like a damn fool wearing 2 differnt colleges she not the only mom who be mad but she shouldn't had walked off its not about her its bout him
Brandon Mayweather - SIMP
CJ Zanders Why you say that
Oh, he had her looking some kind of way. He didn’t have her doing anything. It’s not about her.
CJ Zanders Tru
Stop SIMPING nigga damn. Y’all be killing me. Ol “ The Black woman can do no wrong” ass nigga.
Considering the dreams we have for our children and the fact that this kid is a good kid not running the street not addicted to alcohol or drugs not living in his mom's basement doing nothing but playing video games not out there vandalising or terrorizing young women not in jail he's not hurt he doesn't have cancer or a debilitating disease.... of all the things he could be he turned out to be a star athlete and the look of disgust on his mother's face you would think she was walking out of visiting him at jail. What a shame
BLACK WOMEN 🤔

White women and white men does this also so, shut your ignorant dumbass up.
How dare she come back like nothing happened. The damage has already been done smdh.
Strong black women huh smh yea ok
Brain Storming how about a black woman strong enough to sit down and be humble
JACOB ISREAL
They can't do it. Being humble
is a gateway to being compassionate. These types of black mothers are very selfish and vindictive. she is not a 4 star recruit it wasn't her moment so she did what selfish humans do. She walked out. Typical black woman behavior.
Black Women = humble? Lol won’t happen. These loud mouthed women are nothing but drama queens
JUDGE JUDAH strong white men huh ok … Incest *cough cough*
Why are you all dissing the mother? Jacob is affiliated with a gang in Florida and chose Florida Univercity to stay closer to his gang. His mother just wanted him to choose Alabama or Tennessee for his own wellbeing , as she didnt want her son on the streets
So now because of her actions the whole world knows he was a gangbanger, that makes the situation a lot better!
Black women ain't 💩
...shit
Just like yo momma
Black Kroo-seyd These black women these days ain't shit and that's sad and it breaks my heart. I'm crying right now because I'll never married to my queen because she is too simple minded and selfish. I hate white women because they don't truly understand the black experience
