Scouting Report:

As soon as he straps up the pads for the Gators, Weston will already be the second tallest wide receiver on the roster. Weston is not at blazer along the perimeter, but possesses enough speed to get to an open spot and beat opposing cornerbacks.

One of the reasons why he can be impactful at the next level is because of how his body built, which almost mirrors that of a hybrid pass catcher. As a result, Weston can catch almost any ball thrown in his direction and can create mismatches with smaller defensive backs.

Weston is light on his feet and does a nice job of extending out to high-point the ball. Dan Mullen's staff has a lot of confidence in Weston and now everything is official.
