Jacob Eason, a star at Georgia, settling into new role as scout team QB with the UW Huskies

During Jacob Eason’s official recruiting visit to the University of Washington in December 2015, offensive linemen Henry Roberts and Trey Adams were handpicked to serve as the five-star quarterback’s host that weekend.

One memorable dinner they had together that weekend was atop the Space Needle. Roberts felt a quick connection to the quarterback from Lake Stevens.

“We got all dressed up and went out and had a good time,” Roberts remembered.

The Huskies were disappointed to learn shortly after that weekend visit that Eason had reaffirmed his commitment to play for Georgia. Eason went on to win Georgia’s starting QB job as a true freshman.
