Ed Hervey
Head Scout

A two-time Grey Cup champion and former CFL All-Star, Ed Hervey has made a seamless transition from the playing ranks to football management.  Now in his second year as the Esks’ Head Scout, Ed takes a lead role in coordinating Edmonton’s CFL Canadian Draft preparation and research.

The former USC star has also established successful open tryout camps for the Eskimos in Northern and Southern California. In the past two years, nine players have attended the main camp in Edmonton with four making the roster, including linebacker Mark Restelli and receiver Jason Barnes.

Over eight seasons (1999-2006) with the Esks, Hervey distinguished himself with his world class speed, toughness and leadership on and off the field. In 118 career games, Hervey caught 476 passes for 6,715 yards and 43 touchdowns. He played in eight post season games and three Grey Cups, winning in 2003 and 2005.  In 2006, Hervey received the David Boone Memorial Award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the community.  Hervey retired as a player in March, 2007.
