South Carolina sophomore linebacker Ernest Jones is close to many of his senior teammates. How close? Well, he said Tuesday that they will be friends for life and some of them will be in his wedding one day.
That last statement apparently fascinated Gamecocks Central writer Collyn Taylor, who followed up with Jones about his future wedding plans. That led to a hilarious exchange between the linebacker and media.
Watch below:
I apologized after the interview for putting him on the spot like that and he responded: “Nah, she’s probably watching. You’re probably helping me out.” https://t.co/RUuSCSYrEl

Discussing future wedding plans in front of strangers sounds like a 20-year-old’s worst nightmare, but to Jones’ credit, he took it in stride. It will be interesting to see if there’s any more following up on this story in the days to come after Jones’ girlfriend undoubtably watches this exchange.
