Gage Gubrud (born May 15, 1995) is a former gridiron football quarterback. He played college football for the Eastern Washington Eagles and the Washington State Cougars.
Gubrud graduated from McMinnville High School in McMinnville, Oregon, in 2014. As a senior, Gubrud completed 59.7 percent of his passes, with 18 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He led the Grizzlies to the second round of the OSAA 6A Playoffs and also earned All-Pacific Conference honors.[1]
Gubrud was lightly recruited, receiving zero Division I scholarship offers. Gubrud would eventually decide to join Eastern Washington as a preferred walk-on, in the process turning down a scholarship offer from Division III school Linfield in Oregon.[2]
Gubrud redshirted in 2014. In 2015, he saw action primarily as a kick holder. Gubrud played in one game as a quarterback, completing 7-of-13 passes for 66 yards and an interception in a loss to Montana.[1]
In 2016, Gubrud won the starting quarterback job, beating out former starter and senior, Jordan West.[2] In his first career start against Washington State, Gubrud went 34-for-40 for 474 yards and five touchdowns in a 45–42 upset win.[3]
Gubrud would lead Eastern to a 12–2 season and an appearance in the FCS Playoffs Semifinals. He finished 2016 with an FCS single-season record 5,160 passing yards and 48 touchdowns. Gubrud also led the team with 606 rushing yards and five touchdowns.[4] Gubrud totaled 5,766 yards of total offense, which was just 33 yards shy of the FCS single-season record set by Steve McNair in 1994.[4]
Gubrud was named the Co-Big Sky Conference Offensive Player of the Year, along with teammate Cooper Kupp.[5] He was also named the FCS Player of the Year by the Touchdown Club of Columbus.[4] Gubrud was also a finalist for the Walter Payton Award.[6]
