He plays with a high-level trigger, reactionary quickness, and the short-area burst to plant, drive, and eliminate throwing windows in an instant. With 19 Division I offers already in hand, he stands as one of the top overall prospects in the 2028 class nationally.

Weddle is a dynamic athlete that can impact the game in all three phases. At 6’2” 175 lbs. he currently projects as a safety using his high-level instincts and anticipation skills. Shows a great ability to process his reads and diagnose route combinations as the play develops. Consistently flashes exceptional plant and drive ability coming out of his transition. Routinely beats receivers to the spot at the short/intermediate levels to disrupt throwing lanes and play the ball at the catch point. Efficient with his movement and footwork, he’s under control and patient to limit wasted steps and take good angles to quickly close space in coverage and run support. Great route recognition skills, anticipates routes to stay in phase while maintaining leverage to put himself in position to make a play. Does a good job playing through the hands at the catch point to break up passes. Brings controlled violence as a tackler when coming downhill. He’s aggressive filling the lane and accelerates through contact to drive ball carriers to the ground. The game comes very naturally to him and appears effortless whether in the secondary or playing QB. Eight D1 offers so far but will see many more high profile programs come through as the cycle progresses.
