Sometimes at programs like Xavier, one must wait his turn. That’s was the case for Weiss, who did catch six passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns during the Saints’ unbeaten run to a state championship last season. He also stood out on special teams, averaging 35.5 yards and scoring a touchdown on six kick returns, and averaging 16.7 yards on 13 punt returns. While he’s continued excelling in the return game, Weiss is being leaned on a lot more in the passing game. The senior leads the team, by far, with 17 receptions for 261 yards and three scores. In watching him during a 28-17 victory at Clear Creek Amana on Friday night, the burst and ability to make people miss in space that benefits Weiss on returns also work well in receiving. He can take short throws and turn them into gains by working his way through the defense.
