well the coaches have him first team (who you going to believe?).

Usually there is a surprise or two, but this time the choices all make sense.

Well deserved, congrats to Weaver.

The OP in this thread apparently attended Cal at the same time I did. ;-)

Excellent. Congratulations to the young man.

Congratulations.
I doubt many offensive players on opposing teams will disagree with the choice.

What has impressed me most has been his durability. He's seems to always be on the field. I'm thinking that may help him in the draft.

Kudos! And more to come I'm sure. I recall seeing him play in the WIAA 4A title game a few years ago and being impressed with his instincts and competitiveness. When he announced for Cal, I expected to get a solid 4 year contributor but not a star. He's been a very nice surprise! Well done Mr. Weaver.

He's a great linebacker overall but the one weird (and valuable) skill he has is that he is a great arm tackler. Yes, a great arm tackler. Normally if a defender can only get his hands or arms on a ballcarrier, the ballcarrier is going to break that tackle. Not Weav. He gets juked occasionally just like everyone does but he must have really strong hands. He grabs the guy running by him and still manages to bring him down more often than not. Great arm tackler.

Evan was named on the First Team for the Athletic's All American Team today as well.

Athletic All American Team (this is a pay site)

Interestingly, 11 of the 25 players named on the First Team, including Evan, were 3-star or unrated coming out of high school.

We finally get one guy on a First Team AA list (how long has it been?) and we are -- justifiably -- ecstatic...

Ohio State and LSU each have FOUR players on the team. It's like they're in a different world.

Don't remember UW having a stand out tight end when we played them, let alone the best tight end in the country.

I don't remember them having a great O-line either and they have three on the All-Pac12 Team.

Depending on which one, mock drafts have 8 or 9 Alabama players going in the first round.

I thought this too. Incredible arm tackling strength. On a related note, how many college football junkies around the country are losing their shyte over two Pac12 LBs making the AA team?
