SALT LAKE CITY – After some social media users pointed out that Utah kicker Dillon Curtis was warming up during the opening prayer of the BYU versus Utah game, he released a statement about the online discourse and situation.

“I’ve been debating for a few days whether I make a comment on me kicking during the prayer, and at first I decided to just let it blow over but I realized that isn’t the right thing to do. I just wanted to apologize to anyone I offended I really didn’t mean anything negative by it and especially didn’t have harsh intentions, I was just warming up when my cocahes told me to warm up,” the statement read.

Curtis went to Murray High School in Salt Lake City, Utah.
