Hall of Fame
As Frank Girardi built the teams that went on to dominate the MAC for much of the '80s and '90s, it was players such as Steve Weigle that laid the foundation. From Williamsport High, Weigle helped transform the Warrior defense from a middle of the pack group to one of the nation's best by the time he graduated. That defensive transformation resonated throughout the team, as the Warriors went from a squad with a 2-6 record during Weigle's first year to an 8-1 powerhouse by his senior campaign. A two-time First Team All-MAC defensive end, Weigle was a key frontline piece on the 1975 team that led the nation in total defense. As a senior, while leading the team to a school record number of wins, Weigle earned Honorable Mention AP Little All-America honors while helping the team lead the nation in rushing defense. Weigle went on to earn a master's in counselor education from the University of South Florida and is a school counselor at Collier County School District in Naples, Fla.
