Eason was generally regarded as the nation’s top prep quarterback in the 2016 class. He’s currently embroiled in a competition for the starting gig against the likes of Greyson Lambert and Brice Ramsey. While he doesn’t possess the experience of his fellow competitors, Eason’s stature in the pocket and immense arm strength makes him a very appealing option for Smart and his staff.
