During his junior season, Weber put together one of the most impressive campaigns in Southern California high school football. The four-star prospect completed 218 of 311 passes for 3,645 yards and 41 touchdowns with only nine interceptions. He also added 115 carries for 688 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground.
Weber's performance was headlined by a record-setting playoff performance where he completed 24 of 31 passes for 360 yards and eight total touchdowns, five through the air and three on the ground, to lead Chaparral to a 63-42 victory. His eight-touchdown game was a new single-game school record at Chaparral. He has earned first-team All-State selection in California twice.
