Washington Football- Who Will Back Up Eason?

Washington football landed perhaps the biggest player of the Chris Petersen era so far when Jacob Eason announced he was coming home, transferring back to the Huskies from Georgia after Jake Fromm stole his job. Eason was forced to sit out this season, per NCAA transfer rules, but he’s now in line to win the starting job for the 2019 campaign. But what if something happens? The Huskies have a lot of talented quarterbacks on the roster, who would take over if Eason goes down? This is more of looking ahead for the future, as Eason will probably only be around for one season, and whoever backs up Eason will probably be on the fast track to start in 2020.
