He told reporters after the game that he didn’t start the brawl and was only trying to protect teammate Michael Bennett.
On Monday morning, Irvin issued an apology via Twitter:
I want to apologize to all of the younger kids for my actions last night. I was trying to protect my brother and it got out of hand.

It's easy to say u would have done different but in the heat of the moment I just reacted when I seen my brother get punched.

Still not an excuse and I'm truly sorry to all the 12's and my Wvu family for my actions.
