Jake Fromm sat not too far from Kirby Smart during the 2016 edition of the Macon Touchdown Club jamboree. At the time, Fromm was still an Alabama commit, thanks to Smart’s recruiting efforts that dated back to the former Houston County standout’s freshman year of high school.
A year later, Fromm wouldn’t return to the jamboree since he was enrolled early at Georgia, which followed the eventual flip from Alabama. He is now expected to compete for the starting quarterback job against incumbent Jacob Eason.
Since Smart has been allowed to talk about his class of 2017, he’s gushed over Fromm.
