The Seahawks used their first pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, the 56th overall selection, to acquire D’Wayne Eskridge, a speedy receiver out of Western Michigan. To learn more about the newest member of the team, here is the high school Eskridge went to.
Where did D’Wayne Eskridge go to high school?
Eskridge said he’s planning on coming to Seattle and learning all three receiver positions, but his versatility goes beyond where he can line up as a receiver. Eskridge was a star running back in high school, and also spent a little bit of time as a cornerback in college.
Eskridge was born and initially grew up in Winona, Mississippi, before his family moved to Bluffton, Indiana, while he was in grade school. He attended Bluffton High School, where he played football and was a sprinter on the track team. Eskridge ran a 4.38-second 40-yard dash at Western Michigan’s pro day, blazing speed by just about any standard but his own because Eskridge was expecting to run even faster.
