Gholston released a statement.

"Although provoked, my response was inappropriate," he said. "Coach Dantonio regularly reminds us that actions have consequences, and I will be better prepared to handle these circumstances in the future. I look forward to my reinstatement."

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio had this to say about Gholston's actions.

"In the heat of the moment, he momentarily lost his composure. Football is an emotional game of split-second reactions. It was an unfortunate incident. We look forward to his reinstatement"
