Florida Bar employee suspended for allegedly sending racist, homophobic DMs to Miami player after Hurricanes' win over Seminoles

A Miami Hurricanes player became the target of a disturbing online harassment campaign following the team’s hard-fought 43–35 double-overtime victory over Florida State on Saturday. Damon Wilson II, a key figure for the Hurricanes, reportedly received a series of racist and homophobic direct messages from Kade McLendon, a computer technician employed at the Florida Bar.

The alleged threats included graphic violence against Wilson’s family, prompting Miami’s athletic department to take swift action. The incident has overshadowed the Hurricanes’ controversial win, which hinged on a disputed holding call in the second overtime that cost Florida State a potential game-tying touchdown.

Head coach Mike Norvell of the Seminoles has since criticized the officiating decision, calling it an ‘absolute joke’ and directing frustration toward the ACC’s officiating leadership. Meanwhile, Miami’s undefeated season remains intact as they head into their next challenge, though the team’s secondary faces personnel shortages ahead of their upcoming matchup with Pittsburgh.
