Other schools that Eason is currently considering for a summer visit or camp stops include Georgia, Washington, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Notre Dame. The Irish in particular have a special connection.
Eason's father, Tony Eason, played wide receiver for the Irish alongside Tim Brown. Understandably, the younger Eason grew up a Notre Dame fan.
“Actually I did (grow up a Notre Dame fan). He has his old football helmet in the TV room and a couple of pictures. I grew up through middle school with them as my favorite.”
The 6-foot-5, 210 pound Eason doesn't call Notre Dame his favorite anymore but the Irish do possess several of the qualities that he is looking for in finding the right fit for him.
“Coaching staff, the offense and academics are three of them,” he said of the important factors in his future college decision. “The number of quarterbacks in the NFL because I want to go after that. How long the coaches have been there, the facilities and the prestige at that school and the number of wins and that kind of stuff.”
