Georgia’s 2020 offensive rebuild just got a lot harder. Junior quarterback Jake Fromm, who started all but the first game of his collegiate career, has declared to forego his senior year and enter the 2020 NFL Draft.
Fromm finishes his career donning silver britches having won 36 games (including the 2017 season opener in which he relieved an injured Jacob Eason and never looked back) and heaving led the Dawgs to three consecutive SEC East titles, one SEC title, and a Rose Bowl victory along the way.
He is the third Bulldog quarterback to finish his tenure undefeated when starting against the Florida Gators. The other two: John Rauch from 1945-1948 and Buck Belue from 1979-1981.
He never lost to Tennessee or Georgia Tech, either.
The decision is surprising to some, as Fromm’s 2019 completion percentage was his lowest in his three years in Athens.
He entered his final season as a projected first round pick, but without three of his favorite receivers from 2018 and with new starters struggling to separate, Fromm has fallen in mock drafts.
Regardless of where he’s drafted, Jake Fromm is one of the finest quarterbacks to ever suit up in red and black. Rightfully so, the Bulldog Nation has reacted with immense gratitude.
