An awkward mix-up occurred during a Golf Channel interview on Thursday when a reporter mistook an assistant college football coach for former NFL quarterback Vince Young.

Lauren Withrow, a reporter for the Golf Channel, intended to speak with Young, who is participating in the BMW Charity Pro-Am in South Carolina. However, she accidentally interviewed Citadel assistant coach Everette Sands instead.

As Withrow began listing Young’s accomplishments, Sands politely interrupted, clarifying that she had the wrong person. “Now, I apologize, you have the wrong person,” he said, before introducing himself.

The reporter had intended to interview Vince Young (left), a former NFL QB. Sands is seen in his Citadel headshot on the right.

Sands continued the interview gracefully, stating, “The great thing about golf is I’m not only competing against myself but I’m competing against everybody else.”

Withrow asked one more question before ending the interview. Unfortunately, the mistake quickly went viral on X, garnering 2.7 million views.

Even Fox Sports analyst and former NFL player Emmanuel Acho weighed in, expressing disbelief at the error.

“There is no way… Absolutely, no way, they thought this man, Everette Sands, was my guy, Vince Young,” he wrote on X, along with a picture of Sands’ Citadel coaching headshot.

Sands, a good sport, later shared his experience on X, saying, “Had a great time at @BMWProAm today. I even got interviewed after one of the holes!!!!”

Withrow acknowledged her mistake on her Instagram story, writing “Learn from the mistakes” and “Up from here!!!”
