Georgia TE Isaac Nauta writes emotional goodbye to transferring QB Jacob Eason
When Isaac Nauta and Jacob Eason arrived in Athens in 2016, they were pegged as the future of the Bulldogs’ offense.
They were the highly touted quarterback and tight end, yes, but they were also college roommates, a pair seemingly destined to make their mark on Georgia together.
But it wasn’t meant to be. Eason sustained a leg injury in the first game of the season in September, yielding to freshman backup Jake Fromm. Eason never got his starting job back, and Fromm led the Bulldogs to the National Championship Game.
Now Eason is set to transfer from UGA.
Nauta is hoping for a breakout season in 2018, but first he took to Instagram to recognize his friendship with Eason:
“Don’t even know where to start with this one, but what a ride 10,” Nauta wrote. “Can’t believe you’re headed out today, because this wasn’t how we planned it or thought it was gonna be. Im going to miss the hell out of you my boy and the house ain’t gonna be the same without you in it. I’m excited for you to go ball out again and see you sling it around. Hell of a friend, and hell of a quarterback, love ya 10.”
Eason is expected to transfer to Washington to be closer to home, but he has not yet announced his decision.
