Matthew Eskridge II brings veteran linebacker juice to Sacramento State
Eskridge is a big-bodied inside linebacker with a proven junior-college résumé, including third-team All-America honors and a state title at Riverside JC, and Sacramento State lists him at 6-foot-1, 228 pounds in 2025. He played in seven games in the 2025 season, starting one, and recorded 15 tackles with six solos; in 2024, he was credited with 14 total tackles after seeing action in four games. The appeal is clear: he adds mature, physical depth and a plug-and-play mindset, though his current college production suggests more role-player than headline grabber so far.
