The 2016 version of the Mountain West Connection top 50 football players countdown is finally here and the 42nd player is Boise State linebacker Ben Weaver.
Weaver is coming off of a decent year where he had 68 tackles and four for a loss, but he also was able to get his hands on the ball with three interceptions and recovered a fumble. He is expected to have a bigger role this year with the Broncos losing Tyler Gray and Kamalei Correa from the front seven.
Phil Steele see's the potential and lists Weaver on his preseason second team.
