Jake Fromm, the Warner Robins product has become one of the most recognized names in College Football today. Fromm has been the starting quarterback at Georgia since he took over for the injured Jacob Eason, who hurt his knee against Appalachian State in the season opener of the 2017 season.
The day that Eason got hurt, would be the day the legend of Fromm was born. “When one door closes, another one opens.” A great, and fitting saying that summarizes Jake Fromm’s career at Georgia so far. Fromm has thrown for 5,364 yards, 54 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. In two seasons Fromm has put up numbers that we haven’t seen since Aaron Murray left Athens after his eligibility ran out. Jake Fromm has been a great fit with Georgia Football, as he is a high IQ, poised, composed, and efficient quarterback. That is exactly what we needed at Georgia, someone who loves the game of football and is a true student of the game. Fromm is a very accurate quarterback, and one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the nation. In the past two seasons, Fromm has been surrounded with great talent, not only on the line of scrimmage, but he has talent with him in the backfield, and out wide. Fromm has always had two great running backs lining up with him in the backfield. In 2017, he had Nick Chubb and Sony Michel lining up behind him and beside him at times in the backfield. The dynamic duo at running back provided the Dawgs with great leadership and a high work ethic that would influence the rest of the team. Chubb and Michel combined for 2,572 yards and 31 touchdowns, on 379 total carries. Fromm was also blessed with a good receiving core that was led by Senior Javon Wims, who led the Dawgs receivers with 720 yard and 7 touchdowns, on 45 receptions. Very early on Wims proved to be a reliable target for the Fromm to look at every snap. The young and explosive offense was backed up by a great defense that was one the best in the nations, that was led by a group of seniors who wanted nothing less than a National Championship. After the 2017 season ended in a disappointing loss in the season, Fromm was lost his running back duo, his favorite receiver, and some of his playmakers on defense. The 2018 season was left up to Jake Fromm to help take the reins on offense and work with the receivers he had left to produce in 2018. Fromm threw for 2,749 yards, 30 touchdowns, and had 6 interceptions. After his sophomore season, Fromm is being considered a top four quarterback in College Football. He has led to the Dawgs to a SEC Championship and two appearances, a Rose Bowl win, National Championship game appearance, and a Sugar Bowl appearance in just two years. But that is not the standard at the University of Georgia, as the goal for every team at UGA is to win a National Championship. Georgia has yet to win a championship in football since 1980,when Herschal Walker led the Dawgs to a National Championship win over Notre Dame. The Georgia offense has lost it’s top four receivering options from a year ago, as three of the four left for the NFL and one has been removed from the program. Fromm lost one of his dyanmic running backs from a year ago as well. Going into his junior season Fromm will be working with a new receivering core which is expected to lean on freshman and former backups to step up and make up for the lost of yards and touchdowns from a year ago. Jake has been known for his great ability to play well under pressure as he knows the gameplan and is very intelligent when it comes down to big games. Adversity gets the best out of the Georgia quarterback. Fromm is very good at spreading the ball around and knowing where the play is going to be made. That same quality is going to be expected of Fromm this season, even though he doesn’t know where his playmakers are going to come from.
