Weaver is unbelievable with the ball in his hands- he can change his direction effortlessly, and has unreal acceleration he uses to go from 0-100 almost instantly.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Weaver is incredibly tough to throw against as well- he provides blanket coverage all over the field, has great ball skills, and frequently comes away with huge PBUS and INTs for his defense. Weaver is just as good at defending the run- he's a talented tackler who allows for little yardage after he makes initial contact, consistently coming down from the secondary for huge stops.</em>"</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Weaver has already picked up a lot of attention from the next level, receiving offers from Arkansas and UAB earlier this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out some of Weaver's film from last season, you won't be disappointed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/22325886/679a68de2f1c19f317b7fbe6' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687bc1ddc55aa"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1312368"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687bc1ddc55ee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1312368' first='Kylen' last='Boman'] is a dominant ATH out of Spanish Fort who's now our#3 ATH and #27 overall prospect in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"<em>Offensively, Boman is an impressive WR with an already well-rounded skill set.
