Most players won’t admit it, but J.J. Weaver can’t hide it. The Florida game means more. It’s not because of a long losing streak or the Head Ball Coach’s antics. Sure, he’d love to play well against his home state school, but that’s not it either. During Weaver’s last trip to Florida his life changed forever. It could have begun a downward spiral. Instead, his fateful day at The Swamp serves as the starting point for an epic comeback story.
Weaver was born and raised in Broward County, Fl. During his adolescent years he moved to Louisville with his mother and completed his prep career at Moore High School.
