ATHENS, Ga. — Quarterback Jacob Eason said Friday he is leaving Georgia, an expected decision after he lost his starting job to freshman Jake Fromm.

Eason made the announcement on his Twitter account.

“Thank you UGA for an incredible two years,” he wrote. “The memories and relationships I have made will truly last a lifetime. I will miss suiting up in red and black, but Athens will always be a place I can call home.”

Eason didn’t indicate where he intends to play next, but The Seattle Times reported this week that he is expected to transfer to Washington. Eason would be in position to take over the Huskies’ starting job after sitting out a year under the NCAA’s transfer rules.

As a freshman, Eason completed 55 percent of his throws for 2,430 yards and 16 touchdowns, with eight interceptions.
