Weimer to play football this fall at Colorado Mesa University

Monterey Peninsula College linebacker Ricky Weimer has found a home, as the former Salinas High standout will play football this fall at Colorado Mesa University.

Last season Weimer recorded 78 tackles for the reigning American Golden Coast Conference champion Lobos, including nine tackles and a sack for losses. He also intercepted a pair of passes.

Used as an H-back on punts, the 19-year-old showed his athleticism, taking two snaps and turning them into 36 yards and a pair of first downs to keep drives alive.

Weimer collected 108 tackles as a junior as Salinas, compiling 44 tackles in just four games during a pandemic shortened four-game season in the spring of 2021.

Weimer’s older brother Jeff, will be a receiver this fall at Idaho State.
