Following the 2004 season Eason, a 6-foot-1, 300 pound offensive lineman was
selected a first team All Southeastern District and All Eastern Region and second team All State
as an offensive lineman.
Eason was named first team all district as a
junior. Prior to Eason's senior season in the weight room, he had a bench max of
385 pounds and a squat max exceeding 500 pounds.
During the 2004 season Eason led the way for a Deep Creek attack that rushed for 7.4 yards per carry as they accumulated 3,048 yards on the ground alone in eleven games. As a guard in the Hornets
Wing-T attack, Eason was the key blocker on most of their plays. "Vernon is a very good football player. He's as quick to the edge as anybody," says Deep Creek Coach
David Cox, "he reminds me of Kevin Mawae of the New York Jets."

state schools continue to garner commitments - keep up with latest by visiting
