Eastern Kentucky's Colton Scurry suffers facial fractures in bar fight

Eastern Kentucky offensive lineman Colton Scurry suffered multiple facial fractures in an apparent bar fight over the weekend.

A pair of students from the school allege that Scurry was the aggressor in the incident, which included Kentucky football players Drew Barker, Dorian Baker and Tymere Dubose, according to Kyle Tucker and Tim Sullivan of The Courier-Journal.

Scott Cason, the school's vice president of communications, said Eastern Kentucky is investigating the incident which took place at the off-campus venue Jerzees.

No one has been charged and no complaints have been filed since the incident, Cason said. 

"We were in the back part of Jerzees. A couple people started talking (abusively) and things started to get a little heated," Will Ruholt, a witness and a friend of Barker's, said. "Colton Scurry is the one who started the entire fight. He pushed me. Multiple people can verify that." 

Zach Littleton, an Eastern Kentucky student who claims to have helped Scurry to his feet, also supports Ruholt's version of the events.

"I was actually pretty sober and I was watching everything that was going down," he said. "Basically what happened was a bunch of UK football players come in and all you hear is, 'This is my neighborhood. What are you doing here?' I know if there's any video, you'll see I'm trying to defuse the situation. 

"I was getting between them and saying, 'Calm down. Calm down.' (But) As soon as (Scurry) pushed Will, it was just a big mess. From what I saw, it wasn't just Colton. I saw a bunch of people swinging for no reason."

Scurry's father Jeff said he's not sure if his son will require reconstructive surgery because of massive swelling in his face and nose.
