It seems like someone is out there targeting the social media accounts of college QBs.
In the past week or so Georgia QB Jake Fromm and and Ohio State’s Justin Fields both had their Instagram accounts broken into.
It would appear #UGA QB Jake Fromm has had his Instagram hacked. There have been 2 Instagram stories published saying he’s “selling Instagram verification”. His account bio has also been changed with more details on how to purchase verification. pic.twitter.com/8QirwpGJXE

Add #OhioState QB Justin Fields to the list as it appears his Instagram account has been hacked. His Instagram story is encouraging users to swipe up to take a survey for $100. pic.twitter.com/K9VlivpfLA

Last night Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence became the latest victim of the hacker who began posting spam on the page.
First it was Justin Fields, then Jake Fromm….and now Trevor Lawrence’s Instagram has been hacked. pic.twitter.com/fMswgM2l6G

#Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence has had his Instagram hacked. The same video has been posted that was previously posted to the accounts of Justin Fields & Jake Fromm this past weekend.

After a few hours Lawrence was able to regain control of the account.

Hopefully college players take notice and secure their accounts.
