Boise State Lands Services of Texas Linebacker

We may all have to begin speaking with a Southern accent to make our Texas friends happy.  Blue Through and Through told you that Klein High School linebacker Ben Weaver (6-1, 225) was visiting Boise, and now we have learned that Weaver has chosen to take his skills to Boise State.







Weaver chose Boise State over offers from 14 other schools, including Texas Tech, Utah (which the Pac-10 mistakenly chose over Boise State for expansion), Arizona, Navy, Louisville, Air Force and California.  He also had interest from TCU, Oklahoma, Purdue and Texas A&M.


Weaver made the Dave Campbell Magazine's Super Texas Second Team.





In fact, Weaver's Sooner ties run deep.  His sister currently goes to OU and his mother graduated from the Norman, Oklahoma school.  He said that he grew up going to Sooner games and dreamed of playing there.  But he decided to go to Boise State instead.
