EWU’s record-setting tight end who turned reliability into a calling card
In the 2009 season, Nathan Overbay was a nightmare-for-defenses kind of tight end for Eastern Washington, hauling in 51 catches for 588 yards and 13 touchdowns — all school-record territory for an EWU TE. He finished his college career with 93 receptions, 1,189 yards, and 19 touchdowns, showing real red-zone value and dependable hands. What makes him pop beyond the box score: he was viewed as a well-rounded blocker with NFL size, but scouts noted route refinement was the next step. If you want a tough, versatile TE with production and play strength, he fits the brief.
