LAKE STEVENS, Wash. -- The decision is in for five-star quarterback Jacob Eason (Lake Stevens, Wash./Lake Stevens).

On Tuesday, Eason reaffirmed his commitment to Georgia. The Bulldogs, following the hire of Kirby Smart as head coach and Jim Chaney as offensive coordinator, were able to fend off a late push from the Florida Gators to land the top quarterback in the 2016 class.

"I am signing with Georgia," Eason said. "A lot of information was given to me, from the new staff and the Florida coaches, so it came down to a really tough decision. I ended up feeling more comfortable at Georgia."

The 6-foot-5, 215-pound signal caller originally committed to Georgia back in July 2014, but has since watched two offensive coordinators and a head coach leave Athens, creating some doubt within the Eason family. Florida and Washington both got the U.S. Army All-American on campus for official visits, but Georgia was able to seal the deal during the final official visit last weekend, before the dead period in recruiting began.

"I kind of had the decision last night," Eason said. "Going into the Georgia visit, it really reaffirmed things. I really did not want to play football anywhere else. Georgia is the school for me."

Eason will compete in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Saturday, January 9, then the plan is to enroll in classes at Georgia the following week.
