SALT LAKE CITY – Former BYU linebacker Kyle Van Noy took to social media to issue a confession and apology to a certain demographic.

Van Noy admitted that he used to hate on people obsessed with their lawns and that he is now one of those people.

Now that it’s spring and summer is fast approaching, many people are getting out and doing yard work.

However, we all know someone who takes yard care to another level. From leveling to dethatching and fertilizing, achieving perfectly green grass is a mission for some.

Van Noy used to make fun of these people, but now he sees the appeal.

“Now that I have more experience in my life, I have a confession,” Van Noy wrote. “I want to apologize to everyone I used to talk trash about being LAWN people. People with more age in life always cared sooo damn much about their lawn! I just didn’t get it…. Welp, now I get it! It just hits different when it’s spring and your lawn is POPPIN different lookin fresh AF!! I’m that dude that’s scoping his lawn out like this now… my bad, folks!”
