Elite athlete in Class of 2018 releases top 10 with 3 SEC schools
One of the top athletes for the Class of 2018 has three SEC schools in his top 10.
Jermaine Eskridge, a former Kentucky commit, has Florida, Alabama and Tennessee in his top 10 that he released on Monday afternoon. The Wildcats are apparently no longer in the mix.

The 6-foot-3, 180-pounder from Tampa, Fla. is a four-star prospect and is rated as the No. 13 athlete in the cycle, according to 247Sports’ recruiting rankings.
Eskridge had committed to UK back on July 30, but he announced on Twitter that he’d be rescinding his pledge on Nov. 10.
“I would like to thank Coach Scott, Coach Dawson and the entire Kentucky staff for everything ya’ll have done for me,” Eskridge wrote at the time. “After speaking with my family, I have decided to Decommit from the University of Kentucky. As of today Nov10 I have reopening my Recruiting Process.”
Kentucky currently doesn’t have a player committed for 2018.
Eskridge has taken unofficial visits to Florida, Miami and South Florida so far.
