Tennessee clearly saw something they loved in Weaver, as only the third school to extend a scholarship offer. San Jose State and Indiana are the other two programs on the board.
Weaver is a 3-star prospect according to 247Sports, and rated the No. 57 prospect at his position in the country. With a commanding 6-foot-7, 280-pound figure, the Antioch, Calif. native has tremendous upside with still another season of high school football left to play.
New Tennessee defensive line coach Jimmy Brumbaugh is Weaver’s primary recruiter.
