Jacob Eason, nation's No. 2 quarterback, set to officially visit Florida

Florida will host Washington quarterback Jacob Eason, a Georgia commit, on an official visit from Tuesday, December 1, until Thursday, a source confirmed to Alligator Army on Monday.

News of Eason visiting Florida was first broken by Luke Stampini of 247Sports Monday evening ($). Eason is a consensus five-star prospect, the nation's No. 2 quarterback in the 2016 recruiting class, according to the 247Sports Composite, and the No. 5 prospect overall in the same ranking system.

Eason has been committed to Georgia since July 2014, and famously dined with Georgia coach Mark Richt earlier in November 2015, with Richt's tweeted photo of the encounter seen as affirmation that he might well stay on at Georgia beyond the 2015 season.
