During the hearing, Judge said that college football players that are fathers need to be "detached" in order to focus on performing on Saturdays. Overshown, who had his first son during college while at Texas in 2022, disagreed with Judge's remarks.

"Don’t listen to this young men," Overshown wrote on X. "Be there for the mother of your child and let the rest take care of itself. Those midnight feedings turns into financial freedom because nothing will inspire you more than being a great father."
