Gubrud, who threw for 283.2 yards per game with 13 touchdowns prior to his injury, was a preseason all-American and will play his final season of eligibility at Washington State. Sophomore backup Eric Barriere threw for 2,450 yards and 24 touchdowns, rushed for 613 yards and eight more scores, and earned third team all-Big Sky honors.

The 2017 season was the first for Reeder as EWU’s quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator, and Eastern was eighth in FCS in passing (320.5 per game), fifth in total offense (476.7), 14th in scoring (34.5 points per game) and 11th in third down conversions (46.1 percent).
Reeder spent the 2014-16 seasons working with quarterbacks at Oklahoma State and working as an offensive quality control coach. The former player and 2010 graduate of Eastern Illinois University previously was offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Wisconsin-Stout from 2011-14. He also spent two seasons as an assistant at his alma mater.
Oklahoma State went to bowl games in all three of Reeder’s seasons in Stillwater. The Cowboys were ninth in the Football Bowl Subdivision in passing offense (323.9 per game) and 17th in scoring (38.6 per game).
Reeder helped coach OSU quarterback Mason Rudolph, who ranked seventh nationally in passing in 2016 with 314.7 yards per game and was a third-round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He completed 63 percent of his passes for a total of 4,091 yards, 28 touchdowns and just four interceptions.
The previous season, Rudolph was 19th in FBS (290.0 yards per game), finishing with 3,770 yards, 21 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Reeder also coached quarterback J.W. Walsh, who played his high school football at Denton Guyer, and accounted for 24 touchdowns (11 rushing, 13 passing) in 2015.
Reeder was an assistant at Wisconsin-Stout for four seasons, and was offensive coordinator his last three. Among the players he coached was all-conference quarterback Hank Kujak.
He coached in 2010 and 2011 as a graduate assistant at Eastern Illinois and worked with defensive backs.
Reeder began his college career at Wyoming, then transferred to Eastern Illinois where he had 3,741 passing yards, 23 touchdown passes, and 356 career completions in 30 games. The Panthers advanced to the NCAA playoffs in 2007 and 2009.
