Eason split time with senior Greyson Lambert in the season-opener last week.

A true freshman, the matchup against Nicholls State could just be an opportunity to get Eason meaningful playing time against a team the Bulldogs are taking lightly. Or it could be a signal for a decision over the rest of the season, and to start the Eason era now.
