Cal’s tackle machine with elite instincts and relentless motor
In the 2019 season, Evan Weaver was the definition of a force multiplier for Cal, piling up 182 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 3 forced fumbles while leading the nation in total tackles for much of the year[2][4][6]. What makes him pop isn’t just the stat sheet: he plays with rare intensity, diagnoses plays quickly, and consistently finishes in traffic, which is why scouts viewed him as a low-rated recruit who became an All-American[4][14]. If your team wants a downhill, high-volume inside linebacker who sets the tone, he’s your guy.
