Jacob Eason’s sparkling performance against BYU gives Huskies reason to believe in lofty goals

PROVO, Utah – Aaron Fuller’s evaluation of Jacob Eason was succinct, yet fully on point.

“I mean, he’s an NFL quarterback,’’ said Fuller, the Husky wide receiver who had a breakout game of his own. “He’s got the size, the arm, and everything. When he’s dialed in on the plays and his reads and things like that, he’s one of the greats.”

Turns out a real-life NFL quarterback agrees. During the game, Seahawks’ backup Geno Smith tweeted, “QB from UW legit.. like legit legit”

With each game, Eason’s command of Washington’s offense grows – and so does the scope of possibilities for the Huskies.
