He enrolled in Washington in late March, and made an appearance at the Huskies’ spring game.
Eason, a rising junior, will have to sit out a season. He will be on the scout team and is fifth on the Huskies’ quarterback depth chart.
“Yeah, it’s going to be a different year for sure,” Eason told the Times, “but .. I’m still going to compete like I can play. Every practice, every rep you’ve got to get better and better. So that’s what I’m going to do.”
