FSU recruiting had not offered the son of Casey Weldon who played at FSU in the late 1980’s and early-1990’s and was the Heisman runner-up to Desmond Howard in 1991.
Weldon’s quarterback coach while at FSU? Current Miami head coach Mark Richt. Cade Weldon is the second quarterback recruit in the 2017 class. N’Kosi Perry committed to the Canes over the weekend. A composite four-star recruit and the No. 10 dual-threat quarterback in the 2017 class.
It’s hard to say just how good Weldon is at this point. He suffered a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee in August 2015.
