Transfer quarterback Jacob Eason, as expected, was named the starting quarterback at Washington.
Head coach Chris Petersen made it official on Friday.
Eason, who was raised and played his high school football in the Seattle area, began his college career at Georgia, heading to the Bulldogs as a five-star recruit in the Class of 2016.
He played in all 13 games for the Bulldogs in 2016, starting 12 of them. He completed 204 of his 370 pass attempts for 2,430 yards and 16 touchdowns against eight interceptions and led Georgia to an 8-5 record.
Eason entered the 2017 season as the starter over another five-star recruit, Jake Fromm. But Eason sustained a leg injury early in the season opener, and when he was ready to return, coach Kirby Smart elected to stick with Fromm.
The Bulldogs lost the national championship game in 2017, and Fromm transferred to Washington soon after. He sat out the 2018 season.
At Washington, Eason beat out sophomore Jake Haener for the starting spot.
A 6-foot-6 redshirt junior, Eason has two years of eligibility remaining.
The Huskies open their season at home against Eastern Washington on Aug. 31.
