Brody Weir was a second team all-league tight end for the Wellington Crusaders last
season, and he’s been preparing to further his skills on the field all offseason.
“I’ve been preparing for the season by being at the gym all summer trying to get stronger
and faster,” Weir said. “A weakness I wanted to improve on was getting my speed up.”
Weir is heading into the season not only with goals for himself, but a big dream for his team
as well.
“Some personal goals for me is to be an All-State athlete in both tight end and defensive
end,” Weir said. “The big goal is to lead my team to a state championship game and win.”
With only one season as a Crusader football player left, Weir is hoping to make the most of
it with his teammates.
“The thing I’m most excited about this upcoming season is playing my last year with all my
buddies since kindergarten,” Weir said. “This is such a big senior class and we’ve been
playing together for forever.”
Weir plans to continue his love for sports after high school, and find a career path of
helping other athletes.
“My future college plans are undecided as of right now, but I want to go to college to
become a physical therapist and athletic trainer and learn more about the body,” Weir said.
