Blackshirt? Check mark. Chris Weber has sported the black practice jersey all fall and there's no reason to think he won't do the same a year from now.

Starting experience? Check again. He started four games, in fact, as a sophomore in 2015.

A college game in which he had 17 tackles? Amazingly, yes, mark that one in pen next to his name, too. He did that against Illinois last year while playing for the injured Josh Banderas.

This all explains why linebackers coach Trent Bray said what he did about Weber after a practice this week.
