Eric Fadness, who was a punter for the Fort Lewis Raiders from 1989-92, was the school's only three-time All America football player and among the best small college punters in history.

He earned first team Kodak and American Football Coaches Association All America honors in 1989, first team NAIA All-America accolades in 1990, and second team Associated Press Little All-America and Dr. C.M. Frank Small University All-America awards in 1992.

Fadness was also a three-time first team All-Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference selection, receiving that distinction in 1989, 1990, and 1992. He earned All-RMAC honorable mention in 1991.

Fadness averaged a school-record 42.8 yards per punt during his four-year career. His career average was 11th best in NCAA Division II history at the time of his induction. Fadness also owns the three top single seasons punting performances in school history, including the school record 46.0 yards per kick in 1989.
