SEATTLE (AP) Jacob Eason is ready to become arguably the most highly touted scout team quarterback in the country.

The former Georgia starter is nearing the end of his first spring with Washington and preparing for a season spent as a spectator. But waiting at the end of that long year of watching is the expectation that when 2019 begins, the transfer will be the Huskies' starter.

"This year is going to be a great year for learning and getting better in this program and making relationships with some of the guys and the coaches on this team," Eason said Monday. "It's going to be a different year for sure but that's doesn't mean I'm not 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."
