Kirby Smart: Jacob Eason will ‘always hold a special place in my heart’

Georgia fans will never know what truly could have been with Jacob Eason as the long-term starting quarterback for the program. Jake Fromm is the man for the job now and Eason is expected to transfer to the University of Washington.

Kirby Smart joined ‘The Official Visit’ on Atlanta’s 680 The Fan to wish the former UGA QB the best in his next adventure.

“He’ll always hold a special place in my heart, as well as his family, because of the way he handled everything,” Smart said.

Jacob Eason came to Georgia as the supposed ‘savior’ of the program in the spring of 2016.
