Eskridge says Chad Scott was so excited he couldn’t breathe when he heard the news

The BBN practically broke Twitter when Jermaine Eskridge announced his commitment, and Eskridge told Rivals’ Justin Rowland that his primary recruiter, running backs coach Chad Scott, nearly fainted when he called to tell him the good news:

“I talked to Coach (Chad) Scott and he was like, ‘I can’t even breathe right now,'” Eskridge said. “He was like, ‘I’m so excited.’ Yeah, the coaches are excited.”

Eskridge also told Rowland he’s “completely solid” in his commitment to Kentucky, but does plan to take his visits. He’ll come to Lexington for the first time in December.
