Later Monday afternoon, the account posted a statement apologizing for the tweet.

"In a well-intentioned effort to recognize Martin Luther King, Jr. on this special day, a member of our recruiting staff created a graphic using one of Dr. King’s quotes – 'If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way,'" the statement read. "The quote resonated with our program’s Do Something mantra.

"However, in our attempt to more closely connect the message to FSU, we foolishly posted a graphic that was not in line with our intent. We are sorry for missing the mark in our attempt to celebrate Dr. King’s legacy."
