Evan Weaver has been so accomplished this year, that it’s hard to keep track.
His play earned recognition as the Pac-12 Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year. He was a semifinalist for the Bednarik Award and a finalist for the Lott IMPACT Trophy, the Senior CLASS Award, the Butkus Award. Though he was merely on Pro Football Focus’s All-Pac-12 second team, he was also a unanimous All-American.
Weaver gained national attention through his tackling production. He set the Cal record for tackles in a season against the UC Los Angeles Bruins in the regular-season finale, passing Hardy Nickerson Sr.
