GEORGIA
The speculation can now end, Jacob Eason is officially leaving Athens.
The former five-star prospect that was seen as Georgia’s savior soon after his arrival is now gone after only two seasons on campus. After Mark Richt and the Dawgs parted ways, Georgia had to fight off Florida for the Washington natives services.
Following Jake Fromm’s emergence and the signing of 2018 five-star prospect Justin Fields, this move seemed inevitable if Eason had any hopes of starting in the near future. Eason has yet to name where he will go, however, it is speculated that he will transfer to Washington. He will have to sit out 2018 but he could redshirt the season without losing any eligibility.
Give credit to Eason, however, he never issued any frustration with losing his spot or not being played against Auburn in the Dawgs lone regular-season loss in a game where Fromm was mostly ineffective. Eason was also notably supportive of Fromm following the loss in the National Championship Game.
Eason announced the news on Twitter Friday afternoon:
Thank you UGA for an incredible two years. The memories and relationships I have made will truly last a lifetime. I will miss suiting up in red and black, but Athens will always be a place I can call home. -Skinnyqb pic.twitter.com/2vyMVa0UE0

Eason ends his Georgia career with 2,458 passing yards, 16 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He also completed 55.2 percent of his passes.
Eason is and always will be a DGD. He handled a difficult situation with class, maturity and dignity. I hope he succeeds at Washington.
+1
LSU could use him. If Myles Brennan wasn’t able to beat out Etling in practice, I don’t have much hope that he’s very good.
Coach Smart doesn’t allow transfers to SEC schools.
Eason needs to be in a West Coast system, or at a Big-12 school, were he drop back and sling it.
He could go juco and then any school he wants including SEC schools. If he goes to a D1 school right away he has to sit for a year anyway.
but if he goes the juco rout he wont be able to redshirt and have two more years at a power 5 school
Ole Miss could use him.
Where you been girly? Why would he ever go to Ole Miss unless, of course, it was for cash.
Uh, Leo Lewis admitted being paid by Mississippi State. That means State is paying players too.
Try again.
Jacob Eason will always have a special place in our hearts as the young man who brought hope and change to Athens. I wish him the very best as he makes his way back home to the west coast and look forward to many reports of great success.
Kid is smarter than most people in the state of Georgia.
He recognizes a sinking ship when he sees one.
Look at Volt Rains comment history. She’s just a troll. She is a fan of nothing.
Lol at the vol fan calling a program a sinking ship.
That isn’t a Vol fan…it’s a troll.
Why do you keep saying that? Over and over again, in different ways. Sinking ship… we got it. Got anything else to say?
‘Ole Miss cheats.
Confirmed.
See, all she does is troll.
Ah, yes, changing the subject as usual (Denial 101). Is that your only defense? Something completely unrelated and irrelevant to the conversation? Are you six?
“Got anything else to say?”
Bulldawgrock, is that you?
No but Ole Miss does cheat.
Sinking ship? From a UT fan? 41-0. Nothing else needs to be said. Good luck Jacob. DGD!
Notice how this moron is always on UGA’s article stream throwing out silly comments yet never commenting on UT’s stories. In fact, there’s not too much interaction on any UT storyline by anybody. Speaks volumes about the interest and confidence in the program’s future. Go Dawgs!
You’re right. Disturbing behavioral pattern if you look at his posts. He/she may be an adolescent (8-10yoa judging from immature articulation of thought) or have serious mental disabilities or problems. It’s best to ignore people with theses manifestations as they are generally unstable and rarely realize their own issues.
Wow I’m a Little surprised.
“Got anything else to say?”
This may cost our defence as much as the offense. Very few teams first and second string defenses had to practice against such a strong QB.
I’m a big fan of Eason. I have been ever since he handled himself so professionally during the recruiting process. He committed to Georgia, started to look around quietly a little after Richt left, visited Florida, never once started trolling both fan bases but just was making sure Georgia was right for him, and then solidified his commitment to Georgia. I was very impressed with him then, was very impressed with his play as a true freshman, and then very impressed with how he handled losing his job to an injury. I hope he has a great two years at Washington and a successful career tossing the ball in the NFL
