Weaver announced the decision late last night on Twitter. The other schools in Weaver’s half-dozen finalists are Louisville, Kentucky, Cincinnati, Tennessee and Purdue. His decision will seemingly come down to proximity vs. prestige. Weaver is one of multiple defensive ends being recruited by the Miami football program.
Tennessee seems to have the best combination of both. Knoxville is about 250 miles from Louisville. The four other schools on Weaver’s list besides Miami are closer to the Derby City than Knoxville. The Volunteers and the Hurricanes are the only schools on the list with National Championships in Football.
