You can count Tim Tebow among those impressed with Jacob Eason following his collegiate debut last week against North Carolina. Eason threw for 131 yards and a touchdown against the Tar Heels and showed off his arm talent with a couple jaw dropping throws.
During Saturday morning’s edition of SEC Nation, Tebow claimed Eason could be the most talented freshman in the nation:
“Jacob Eason might have the most talent of any freshman in the country. You watch this kid throw… it's arm talent for days.” – @TimTebow

Georgia and head coach Kirby Smart seems to agree, having named Eason as the team’s starting quarterback heading into the Week 2 game home debut of the Bulldogs against Nicholls. UGA fans can now expect more of this from the offense in Athens with Eason in the lineup:
Great pass from Jacob Eason to Isaiah McKenzie.
