Weston Dominates at DT

Kade Weston is yet another top player in a strong group of 2005 recruits from the state of New Jersey. The 6-6, 312 pound Red Bank star defensive tackle finished with 114 tackles with 14 sacks and 12 tackles-for-loss, earning all-county, all-shore, all-division, and all-state Group III honors. Though is size and strength stand out, Weston feels “coming off the ball is what I do best.”

Having played only on defense throughout high school, he will play both sides as a senior. It is a move Kade welcomes, as he feels it will make him a better player.

“I’ve been strictly on defense but next year I’m going to probably play [offensive] tackle also,” Weston said. “I think it will help me on defense. I’ll know what offensive linemen are trying to do and I’ll know how to react to it on defense.”

On the next level, Division I-A programs want Weston to play his favorite position – defensive tackle. Virginia and Virginia Tech, both of whom have offered official scholarships, like him on the defensive line. UVa would like to move him around the defensive line while Tech sees him strictly as a defensive tackle.
