Jacob Eason’s long-time trainer has high praise for the QB’s development at Georgia
Published:
Jacob Eason’s long-time trainer is impressed with how the freshman has transformed in a short time at Georgia.
Speaking to DawgNation, the trainer, Lavelle Durant, had big praise for Eason’s advancement in his throwing ability since arriving in Athens.
“He’s blowing the old Jacob Eason out of the water right now,” Durant told the website. “I haven’t been as impressed at what Jacob can do throwing the football in a long time as I am right now. Probably ever.”
Here’s more of how Durant describes Eason’s development in the DawgNation piece:
Durant recently put the new-and-improved Eason through his paces across five workouts when the talented freshman crossed three time zones to return home to Washington.
“Wow,” Durant said. “That was my honest reaction the first time I saw him. We called him ‘Skinny’ back then, but he isn’t skinny anymore. He looks real good. Real real good. He was defined. He looked so different. So strong. He’s filling out his frame. He’s excelling on that eye test now. He just looks huge.”
Durant told DawgNation that Eason has reached 242 pounds, which is a major increase from the 211 pounds listed on Georgia’s spring roster. Eason’s goal is to play at 245 pounds this year, according to DawgNation.
The freshman is listed at 6-foot-5, but the DawgNation piece says Eason should be 6-6 when fall camp begins. That frame is impressive, especially for a young player.
Excitement should be building in Athens for what Eason could mean for the Bulldogs’ future.
