Former Georgia quarterback Jacob Eason thanks UGA as he declares for 2020 NFL Draft
Jacob Eason's college career has officially come to a close, as the Washington quarterback announced that he would be forgoing his final year of eligibility and declared for the 2020 NFL Draft. Eason posted a lengthy note via his Twitter account with the news. And in the announcement, he took some time to thank the

Eason improved at Washington. Fromm did not at UGA. I am going by stats. At least Eason was complimentary of UGA. He should perform well at the pro level. I have no solid idea what Fromm will do...likely opt for the draft, I guess.
I reviewed a lot of video on UGA early signee Carson Beck..the kid is very physical and athletic. Fromm mentally and Stafford arm physically...one reported. He is 6'4" tall at 225 lbs. Can move very quickly out of the pocket and throw on the run. He has an odd overhand delivery but it seems to be effective and accurate. I like his chances.
Best of luck Mr Eason! Hated to see you go, but things happen for a reason. You will always be part of the UGA Family..GoDAWGS!
Yeah I have always hated it for eason. He was not one of those me first QBs. I think if he had been given a chance to redshirt while we let Lambert kinda sort guide 2016. It was a wash anyways. Then for him to transfer and not even attempt for a waiver showed what kind of person he is. I wish him nothing but the best. Hope he shines in the NFL. Best of luck Mr. Eason.
I have to believe that this will impact Fromm's decision (or at least it should). I would think that Eason would be a much higher pick than Fromm and strengthens this year's QB picks and reduces next years, so staying on would be the smart thing to do... unless he gets beaten out by Beck.
Always a class act! I wish him the best and will enjoy watching him play on Sundays.
IF Jake stays, CKS will find a way to waste a year of Beck, allowing him to mop up late in the 4th quarter, just handing the ball off to running backs.(LOL) . Great plan CKS.
That’s a fair statement. I do hope that CKS will allow Carson Beck to actually run plays as a quarterback in any mop-up situations. The experience gained will be invaluable.
Eason is a class act, between this and the fact he didn't whine or make trouble when he lost his job to Fromm is very admirable. I don't know what kind of career he will have in the NFL but I wish him well
Eason will be a third round pick. Fromm will be a fourth round if he goes. Personally, I love Fromm and wish him and his family all the best but I believe UGA will be better served if he leaves for the NFL. I would love to see Beck, Mathis or even Bennett get the majority of snaps in 2020. Let the future of our offense take the reigns. I hope Fromm has an amazing Sugar Bowl performance, sees his stock rise and hear him declare.
Go Dawgs!
The NCAA still owes Jacob an apology. If Fields didn't have to sit a year, nobody should have to sit!
Go light up the NFL, Jacob! Wishing you nothing but the very best in life.
