Jackson Eskierka joined the The Citadel football staff as an Assistant Coach / Quarterbacks in Spring 2023.
Eskierka comes to the Lowcountry after spending the previous three seasons as the quarterbacks coach at Lamar where he worked alongside current Bulldog offensive coordinator Patrick Covington.
In his first season in Beaumont, Erskierka had the unenviable task of putting together a depth chart that had never taken a snap at LU. The result was the emergence of Jalen Dummett as one of the top newcomers in the Southland Conference. Dummett would go on to become one of the most accurate passers in the league, completing nearly 64 percent of his passes for 478 yards and four touchdowns in the COVID shortened season.
Eskierka joined the Cardinal staff after spending the previous seven years at San Diego State, including the last three as a graduate assistant.
During his time with the Aztecs, Eskierka served a vital role with three teams that advanced to Bowl games. During that time, Eskierka helped coach the Aztecs to 27 wins and three Bowl game appearances. That stretch also included two 10-win seasons and a Mountain West Conference division title for the Aztecs.
Eskierka began his career at SDSU serving a dual role for the Aztecs. Beginning in 2013, he served as the equipment manager in addition to working as a coach’s assistant.
Eskierka received his bachelor’s degree from San Deigo State in December 2016. He was named to the Dean’s List three times during his collegiate career. He has also received his master’s in in liberal arts and interdisciplinary studies from SDSU.
