New UW QB Jacob Eason tells KJR that Petersen kept the door open for his return | The News Tribune

Lake Stevens native and Washington transfer quarterback Jacob Eason said Monday before he left to play at Georgia that Huskies coach Chris Petersen told him he always had a spot in the event he wanted to return home.

Eason spoke with KJR 950 AM on the “Dave ‘Softy’ Mahler Show” for around 15 minutes about why he chose to leave the Bulldogs after two seasons and how it made sense for him to return Washington and play for the Huskies.

“I wanted to finish the season out at Georgia. I didn’t feel like it was right to ditch and be halfway-in, halfway-out while I was on that team,” Eason said.
