Jacob Henry Eason (born November 17, 1997) is an American professional football quarterback who is a free agent. He played college football for the Washington Huskies and Georgia Bulldogs and was selected by the Indianapolis Colts in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL draft.
Eason attended Lake Stevens High School in Lake Stevens, Washington, and was rated by Rivals as a five-star recruit. He was ranked as the best pro-style quarterback and best player overall in the 2016 class. Eason committed to the University of Georgia to play college football on July 19, 2014. He transferred to the University of Washington in 2018, though he had to sit out the 2018 season because of NCAA transfer eligibility rules. After starting in 2019, Eason decided to forgo his senior season at the University of Washington and enter the NFL Draft.
