Video footage has emerged this week showing a sickening attack on a white high school football player by three of his fellow teammates at a Christian summer camp earlier this month.
FITS News obtained a video from a community activist on Monday that shows the full assault in detail, which occurred at Presbyterian College in Clinton, South Carolina.
The footage begins with the suspects taunting their victim as he sits back against a bed in his dorm room. One suspect is heard saying, “I’m going to f**k you up while laughter is heard off-screen.
Another person says, “stick his a**.” After some more back-and-forth, two of the three then start striking the white teen.
According to FITS News, one suspect landed 20 punches and the other landed six.
The third suspect then jumps in.
“I gotta get in here,” he says. “Make him feel them sh*ts.”
He proceeds to deliver multiple strikes to the victim’s head and back.
The attack lasted less than 20 seconds. FITS News reported that the three alleged assailants all exited the room following the assault.

According to FITS News, the assault occurred around 10:30 p.m. EDT on July 7, 2025, and involved students from D.W. Daniel High School in Pickens County, who the district says are all minors.
The victim told officers that just before the attack, he exited the shower in his dorm room when the three black teammates confronted him, claiming without evidence that he used the N-word in a group chat. The student also said that he would only make matters worse for himself if he tried to run away or refused to confess.
The Moorhead Lefevre Law Firm and the Kyle J. White Law Firm, who are representing the victim’s family, said the camp was school-sanctioned.
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), which hosted the camp, released the following statement in response to the assault on Monday, which Fox Carolina obtained:
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) is aware of the incident that occurred at camp in South Carolina and took immediate action to address the situation, including sending the involved campers home. Their behavior falls unacceptably short of our standards of integrity, service, teamwork and excellence that FCA expects of all participants and has no place in our community.
For over 70 years, FCA has upheld the highest standards of personal conduct, morality and sportsmanship for our coaches, athletes, campers and staff. We remain fully committed to fostering a safe and respectful environment for every participant in our program.
The victim also released a statement via Malarkey News, revealing that he was pressured into falsely confessing to using a racial slur and that once the attack began, he started recording.
He also revealed that he suffered a severe concussion, along with bruises to his scalp and ribcage. Thanks to the assault, he can no longer play contact sports.
The victim said he has pressed charges and also accused his coach, the school principal, and the athletic director of not holding the thugs accountable because they cared more about winning than justice. The suspects are still being allowed to play this season.
In the process, the authorities broke a promise to the victim and his parents by showing that they did not care about his well—being.

The School District of Pickens County said all three players were charged following the incident.
According to district officials, head football coach Chris Stone has also been placed on leave while authorities investigate the incident.
“We are aware that there are multiple factors and perspectives in this situation and remain committed to a thorough and fair review of this situation, as well as an investigation of the football program as a whole,” a spokesperson from the district wrote in a statement obtained by WSPA.
Darian Byrd, Chief Communications Officer for the School District of Pickens County, vowed that there would be due process.
“This is not about wins,” Byrd said. “Yes, you’re dealing with a program that has historically been very successful. We’re going to be doing what’s right for student athletes, regardless of their abilities, and we have to do right through the due process for every child.”
