Here’s what other high school coaches in Washington had to say about Jacob Eason:
Redmond's Jason Rimkus: "He's the best quarterback I've ever seen. I'm 33 years old, so I haven't been coaching that long. You know, we went against some pretty good QBs in our conference last year with Ross Bowers (of Bothell, Wash.) going to Cal. I love Ross, but he's not as good as that kid (Eason). Jacob's arm strength is super. He just can flick it. It just seems to go a mile. That's the biggest thing. I have only seen him in the spread system. I really haven't seen him run. But he has an understanding of the game. From all I've heard from other people, he's a nice kid, too. He's humble for how good he is, which seems to be rare this day and age with Twitter and everything. When you see a kid humble like that, it's pretty special."
Mount Si's Charlie Kinnune: "Georgia got itself a real good football player. He plays in a real good system. They are coached well. He's as advanced of a kid that I've seen in my 24 years of coaching. I like what I see. He's good." The good and bad? "Well, you look at his physical stature. He has got a rocket arm. He throws on time. He's accurate. So those are the things I like. And I can imagine, even though I don't know much about him, that he's going to have to improve his feet because he's so big."
O'Dea's Monte Kohler: "That's two years I've seen him up here (at the scrimmage). I've watched film on him. He's got a big-time arm. He is a great player, and a great kid. He has got the intangibles. I kind of know the family so I know that he's a great young man. Besides being a good quarterback and good football player, he is just an outstanding young man." Good and bad? "He is a pocket guy. His release is phenomenal. He has got a high release and looks great. I think he has to improve his footwork, like all high school kids. He has got to be able to move a little bit better in the pocket. He's not going to break any long runs, but he has got to avoid that rush a little bit at the next level. He does a great job, though. He is fun to watch."
