Washington football: The Eason effect

Washington football fans have known it for a while, Jacob Eason is coming. It’s an exciting time for the future of the Husky program, so what kind of impact can Eason have in what’s assumed to be his only year as the starting quarterback?

The Risks

As great as Eason is, and as much as everyone (myself included) has been hyping him up, there are risks involved with Eason as the starter. The first being, he hasn’t taken a meaningful snap since 2017. There’s bound to be a little rust he’ll need to shake off, and the season opener against Eastern Washington might get off to a slow start.
