Even without a full-time role, Boise State redshirt freshman Curtis Weaver put up a huge season and earned some much-deserved national attention.
On Monday, Weaver was named to the Football Writers Association of America’s Freshman All-America Team. He also appeared on USA Today’s freshman team in December.
Weaver, a STUD end for the Broncos, led the team with 11 sacks and had an interception, plus ran a fumble back for a touchdown. His sack total was sixth-most in school history and second-most since 1989. A 6-foot-3, 252-pound linebacker/end hybrid, he arrived on campus in the summer of 2016 weighing 287 pounds.
