Boise State redshirt junior STUD Curtis Weaver was named to the 2019 CBS Sports All-America First Team, Wednesday.
Weaver is the only defensive player on the first team from a Group of 5 Conference school. A native of Long Beach, Calif., he leads the Mountain West with 13.5 sacks and 18.5 tackles-for-loss. His sacks rank fifth nationally and his TFL total is tied for ninth.
The All-America honor was the latest in a stellar 2019 campaign for Weaver. He captured the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year Award and All-Mountain West First Team honors. In addition, he was one of five finalists for the Ted Hendricks Award, a semifinalist for the Bednarik Award and a Midseason All-American by The Athletic.
Weaver has recorded at least one sack in eight games this season, and tied the Boise State single-season record with four against Portland State.
The Broncos captured their fourth Mountain West title and face Washington in the Mitsubishi Motors Las Vegas Bowl, Dec. 21.
