Bronson McClelland will miss the next two games and has been removed as one of the captains for the Katy football team effective immediately.

Not because of injury but due to video surfacing after a 35-30 victory over Tompkins of him using a derogatory racial slur. The video was made on SnapChat, was recorded on the screen and reposted on Twitter.

The original Twitter post by Tompkins player Tunmise Adeleye that had a recording of the Snapchat video was removed by Friday morning but had already gained traction on social media by midnight.

On Friday, McClelland took to social media to issue a statement.

"After last night's win over the Tompkins Falcons, I made comments on social media that were not appropriate under any circumstances," McClelland wrote. "Being in a leadership role, I put my family, teammates, coaches, school and community in a bad light."

VYPE reached out to Katy coach Gary Joseph for a statement but has not had its phone call returned at this time.

McClelland went on to say him and his parents met with Gary Joseph on Friday to discuss his actions. The decision was made for him to no longer to be a team captain and sit out the next two District 19-6A games.

"Giving me time to focus my attention on what it means to be a Katy Tiger."

McClelland will miss games against Morton Ranch and Seven Lakes. The junior quarterback's earliest return can come on October 25 against Cinco Ranch.
