The Seattle Times' 2015 Defensive Player of the Year returned an interception for a touchdown against the Huskies. This week, he'll try to stop a high-powered Cougars offense and pull off another upset.
Evan Weaver didn’t choose Washington State, but the Gonzaga Prep product has still found a way to contribute to the Cougars’ cause.
Cal’s junior inside linebacker was lurking in pass coverage last Saturday against No. 15 Washington when quarterback Jake Haener ripped a pass up the middle of the field late in the third quarter. Weaver instinctively rose up to pick the ball out of the air before landing on both feet, making one cut to the left sideline and returning the first interception of his career 37 yards for a go-ahead touchdown.
