B+. . . Georgia. QUARTERBACKS

Jake Fromm did not have the season that Georgia football fans expected him to have. His accuracy was up and down, his downfield awareness was off, and his confidence was at an all-time low. He lost a lot of talent in the receiving corps. Riley Ridley, Mecole Hardman, and Isaac Nauta all left early for the NFL Draft and Jeremiah Holloman was dismissed from the team over the summer.

Fromm had to depend on new grad transfer Lawrence Cager and a bunch of inexperienced young receivers this season. Fromm looked good, for the most part, at the beginning of the year. Then his accuracy really dropped off after the Florida game. Losing Cager was a big part of it, but not the whole reason. There were plenty of errant throws and bad decisions made on Fromm’s part.

Fromm completed 234 of 385 passes (60.8 percent) this past year. He amassed 2,860 yards, 24 touchdowns, and five interceptions. His completion percentage, yards per attempts, touchdowns, and interceptions were career lows, even though he attempted the most passes of his career.

Speaking of the most passes of his career, he erased the narrative that he couldn’t win while attempting 30 passes or more. He beat both Florida and Baylor after attempting exactly 30 passes.

Fromm was able to end his career on a high note though, going 20 for 30, 66.7 percent, for 250 yards two touchdowns and zero interceptions against the Baylor Bears in the Sugar Bowl. It was the perfect game on which to end his legacy at Georgia. A performance that was classic Fromm.

Final Grade: B+
