Auburn walk-on freshman running back Sean Jackson earned a scholarship this week, and the first thing he wanted to do was FaceTime his mother.
In a video captured by the school, Jackson calls his mother with various coaches surrounding him to tell her the good news.
“Actually, momma, they put me on scholarship,” Jackson said, but his mother didn’t hear him the first time. “Momma, listen, they put me on scholarship.”
Jackson’s mother then erupted in cheers for her son. She followed by saying “I’m on my way!”
She continued to thank Jackson’s coaches, and told her son how proud of him she was.
