DALLAS -- Continuing an impressive haul of postseason honors, Western Michigan football player D'Wayne Eskridge has been voted an All-American by the Football Writers Association of America. Already the MAC Special Teams Player of the Year and a finalist for the Paul Hornung Award, given to the nation's most versatile player, Eskridge was a second team selection as an all-purpose player.

Eskridge, a first team All-MAC selection at both receiver and kick returner, leads FBS in all-purpose yards per game (213.0) and is the only player in the country averaging above 200 all-purpose yards per game. His 130.7 receiving yards per game rank fourth in FBS entering bowl season, as well as tops in the MAC. His eight receiving TDs also lead the conference and rank 16th nationally. As a returner, Eskridge's 77.8 kickoff return yards per game stand fifth in the country and he is one of just 11 players in FBS to have at least three kick returns of 40-plus yards on the season.

Coupled with earning second team All-American honors at returner from Pro Football Focus, Eskridge is the sixth player to earn All-America honors from at least one major organization during the four-year tenure of head coach Tim Lester. Eskridge is the first to earn All-America status from the FWAA since Chukwuma Okorafor was voted a first team selection at offensive line in 2017.

All-time, Eskridge is the 25th Bronco to earn All-America status from at least one major publication.
