At Nazareth Academy, Weller made quite the impact.

From the story: "A year ago in the 5A championship game, he caught eight passes for 139 yards, including a 27-yard TD, as the Roadrunners won 42-21. It was their second straight state title."

According to stats compiled by PennLive.com, Weller finished the season with 43 receptions for 553 yards and eight touchdowns. As evidenced in his highlight video below, he also returned kicks for the Bulldogs.
