I guess it is now clear he was untruthful, as now he has admitted to not telling the truth.  Don't know what the truth was, but I suspect the administration at SC wanted to get to this level of disclosure to quiet the speculation a touch.

From the article:

The school didn't explain how Shaw actually was injured, but USC officials say they regret posting a story on their website Monday lauding Shaw's story about a second-story jump onto concrete to rescue his 7-year-old nephew.

"We are extremely disappointed in Josh," USC coach Steve Sarkisian said. "He let us all down. As I have said, nothing in his background led us to doubt him when he told us of his injuries, nor did anything after our initial vetting of his story."

"...initial vetting of his story." ?? ?? ?? ?? 

What kind of vetting was that? 

"Hey Josh, how many stories high was the balcony?" 
"2?  Oh, okay." 
"And how old, again, is your nephew?"  " He's 7?  Oh, okay."

"Well, sounds good to us... Let's put it out there!"

That graduate assistant who deflated the field goal footballs for Lame Kitten must have been reassigned to the SID's office...
