“Austin Metcalf was a thug. They want to keep posting pics of him looking like the nice white kid with great grades and a back for art lmao. This kid was a thug. Look at him and these guns. Clearly a thug. Tried to be tough, fucked around and found out 🤷🏽‍♂️” one person wrote on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.

We found the photo on Metcalf’s Instagram account. However, it appears that the football star was interested in hunting. He posted another picture of himself with a deer.

Anthony’s father says he was not an aggressor

The father of the teen accused of fatally stabbing Metcalf said that the 17-year-old is a ‘sweet kid’ and not an ‘aggressor’.

“Everyone has already made their assumptions about my son, but he’s not what they’re making him out to be,” Andrew Anthony told The New York Post. “He’s a good kid. He works two jobs. He’s an A student, has a 3.7 GPA.”
