Jake Fromm is an amazing player... only 19 years old. Can't believe he was in high school only last year. Now he's in the national championship game.
So when will Eason transfer to Miami?
1. Jake Fromm was an Alabama commit
Before flipping to the Bulldogs, Jake Fromm was a member of Alabama’s recruiting class. But after Kirby Smart became the coach at Georgia, Fromm flipped his pledge and opted to play for the in-state Bulldogs. Fromm is from Warner Robins, Ga., and played for Houston County High School.
2. Jake Fromm was a key figure in Georgia’s 2017 recruiting class
Fromm was a factor in helping the Bulldogs land a number of recruits. He appeared in two different DawgNation commitment videos, along with 5-star freshman Richard Lecounte. Fromm was the No. 3 quarterback in the 2017 class and the No. 44 player in the country, per the 247Sports composite.
3. Jake Fromm took over for Jacob Eason after Eason got hurt
Fromm entered the season opener early after Jacob Eason sustained a left knee injury. The freshman completed 10 of 15 pass attempts for 143 yards and a touchdown. Smart had a plan for Fromm to get in the game.
“If you guys knew how well this guy prepares, as a student of the game, even in the summertime in 7-on-7,” senior linebacker Davin Bellamy said. “The guy is the real deal.”
4. Jake Fromm has gotten rave reviews from Dan Mullen
In his first three games, Fromm has done a good job of taking care of the ball. He’s thrown 19 touchdowns to just 5 interception.
And his early play has drawn great reviews from quarterback guru and now Florida coach Dan Mullen.
“You see a lot of what you look for in a quarterback. You can see he has that competitive swagger,” Mullen said earlier in the year. “They do a really good job of not putting the game always on his shoulders. He has that leadership and that attitude that you look for at the quarterback position.”
5. Jake Fromm put up huge numbers in high school
In his high school career, Fromm put up monster numbers, throwing for 12,745 yards and 116 touchdowns in 46 career games, falling just 280 yards shy of Deshaun Watson’s Georgia state record. Fromm is listed at 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds.
Jake Fromm’s 2017 stats
He’s completed 129 of 208 passes for 1990 yards, 19 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. He’s 11-1 as a starter.
Like a good neighbor Jake Fromm is there....
Probably everybody that watches sports, or other shows, on television has seen the State Farm Commercials where the husband talks to the insurance company in the middle of the night. It looks suspicious and he is busted by his wife only to find out that he’s really just talking to Jake from State Farm.
