Class:
1971

Charlie Weaver, a feared defensive end, was a member of USC’s famous “Wild Bunch” 1969 defensive line that surrendered just 2.3 yards per rush en route to a 10-0-1 record and a Rose Bowl victory. His hit on UCLA quarterback Dennis Dummitt that season is regarded as one of the most ferocious in USC history. The following season, he was a consensus All-American and All-Conference first teamer while being named USC’s Most Inspirational Player and co-captain. The two-year letterwinner came to USC from Arizona Western College. He was a second round pick in the 1971 NFL draft by the Detroit Lions, where he played for 11 seasons (1971-81). He also spent part of 1981 with the Washington Redskins.
