He was the first player in the history of Orlando Christian (FL) Prep to sign with an FBS school.

Rated a two-star high school prospect, Weaver played four seasons for the Bulls and ranks fourth all-time on the USF receiving yards chart (1,675), 401 yards shy of the career receiving yards record of 2,136 and sixth in career receptions (112).

He chose USF over offers from East Carolina, Middle Tennessee State, Southern Miss, UTSA, Wake Forest, and Western Kentucky among other programs.
