Eric Weddle Enters Utah Ring of Honor | Utah Utes Football News

Eric Weddle, Utah football’s legendary safety and NFL standout, is being honored with a Ring of Honor induction this Saturday during halftime against Arkansas — joining elite alumni like Alex Smith. A cornerstone of the 2004 undefeated team, Weddle earned consensus All-America honors, set school records for fumbles caused, and dazzled with his versatility playing safety, cornerback, and punt returns. Coaches praised his raw talent and football IQ from day one, and his journey from under-recruited freshman to conference champion and BCS participant remains inspiring. His senior year was historic — dominating defense, scoring rushing touchdowns, and returning punts. After a 14-year NFL career filled with Pro Bowl nods and All-Pro honors, including a Super Bowl run with the Rams, Weddle’s legacy continues as his son, Gaige, a top safety recruit, visits campus — cementing a generational connection to the program.
