EWU’s Record-Breaking WR Legend Now a Hall of Fame Icon
Eric Kimble is not a current player but a retired Eastern Washington Hall of Fame wide receiver whose 4,140 career reception yards once ranked fourth in FCS history and who scored a school-record 54 total touchdowns (46 receiving) with elite route-running precision and explosive punt-return ability. His three-time All-Big Sky honors and nine broken career records reflect unmatched consistency, intensity, and football IQ. Though he left college football in 2005 and now serves as an IT executive and nonprofit leader, his legacy as EWU’s most decorated receiver before Cooper Kupp makes him a symbolic fit for teams valuing legacy, leadership, and all-around scoring threat—not active roster contribution.
