The amount of change possible over a three-year period in college football is truly remarkable.
Midway through the 2017 season, Georgia had sophomore quarterback Jacob Eason, freshman Jake Fromm and an incoming 5-star recruit in Justin Fields. Although it would be difficult to keep all of that talent, surely the Bulldogs could figure out a transition plan, right?
Within 15 months, however, both Eason and Fields had transferred. And after the 2019 season, Fromm declared for the NFL draft. His departure left a once-loaded position with enough concern that head coach Kirby Smart pursued grad transfer Jamie Newman.
