BOISE, Idaho – Curtis Weaver earned his second preseason All-America honor ahead of the 2019 campaign Wednesday, being named to the Sporting News' Second Team.
Weaver was named to Athlon Sports' Fourth Team in late June.
Weaver ranked second in the Mountain West and 20th in the FBS in sacks (9.5) last season, also finishing tied for third in the conference with 15.5 tackles-for-loss. The Long Beach, Calif., native posted five multi-TFL games in 2018, along with two multi-sack games, highlighted by a career-high 2.5 against Colorado State on Oct. 19.
Through just two seasons on The Blue, Weaver has already racked up 20.5 sacks, leaving him tied for sixth all-time in Boise State history with Shea McClellin (2008-11). Weaver needs just three more sacks to take sole possession of third place on the list.
The Broncos are coming off another 10-win season, the program's 16th since joining what is now known as the Football Bowl Subdivision in 1996. The total is the second-highest in the country during that time (Ohio State, 18). Boise State also concluded the 2018 season ranked in both the Associated Press (No. 23) and Coaches (No. 24) Polls.
Boise State is the winningest team in the country since 2000 (207-41; .835), and the Broncos' record at home since 2000 is also the nation's best (113-9; .926).
