Chris Weber

Linebacker Chris Weber made a name for himself in the Blackshirt defense as a sophomore in 2015. The Husker linebackers were beset by injuries for much of the season, and Weber responded by stepping into a leading role at middle linebacker for several weeks in the first half of the season.The 6-3, 230-pound Weber returns for his junior season in 2016 as part of a talented group of linebackers. He and fellow Nebraska native Josh Banderas figure to man the MIKE linebacker spot, providing the defense with two players capable of anchoring the middle of the NU defense. Originally a walk-on from Elkhorn High School, Weber was placed on scholarship in January of 2016.
