Perhaps William “Cade” Weldon’s biggest break came the day record-breaking University of Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya announced he was forgoing his senior season to enter the 2017 NFL Draft.
Perhaps it will be his biggest hurdle.
Weldon, the son of Florida State’s 1991 Heisman Trophy runner-up William “Casey” Weldon, is already on the UM campus working out and taking classes as he learns the offense, prepares for spring practice and begins his quest to win the starting job of the most important position in football.
“I’m excited about getting here,” Weldon, 18, told the Miami Herald by phone when he arrived in Coral Gables earlier this month.
