In his interview with Sentell not too long ago, he waffled on that a bit. It sounded like he's "flexible" but would probably prefer not to EE. Ie... if the school he selects has a potential chance for him to start as a freshman, he'll EE but otherwise probably not. Assuming the mix is some combination of FSU, UGA, and Auburn, only FSU and Auburn would really be in the cards there in all likelihood for EE status, and that's only if Stidham/Francois were to bolt early for the NFL which would require pretty stellar seasons from both given the expected QB class coming out this year I believe.
Most notable likely draft entries at QB:
Sam Darnold (USC)
Josh Rosen (UCLA)
Josh Allen (Wyoming)
Luke Falk (Washington State)
Mason Rudolph (Ok St)
Lamar Jackson (Louisville)

Not impossible that Stidham or Francois could cut into that group of 6 to work their way up the board, but Francois looked pretty poor for good chunks of last year and Stidham hasn't played in over a year (which hurts with teams that are more data driven in their player analysis... no one loves small sample sizes). Again, neither is a lock to come back or go to the draft, but you have to think it takes more than just an average performance to jump out early for both.

With that said, if Eason doesn't take pretty major strides forward this year, we may be saying the same thing about him after the 2017 season.
