Pitt defensive end Rashad Weaver was honored as a first-team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association on Thursday, and as a result, he has become Pitt's 52nd consensus All-American.
The 6’5”, 270-pound edge rusher previously earned first-team honors from CBS, ESPN, Pro Football Focus, the Associated Press and the Football Writers Association of America, with Sporting News granting him second-team All-America honors. To earn consensus All-American status, a player must be named a first-team All-American by three of the five major outlets, which include the Associated Press, the American Football Coaches Association, the Football Writers Association of America, Sporting News, and the Walter Camp Football Foundation.
