Weber State football preview: 2026 roster prospectus
Robert Casey, Weber State Athletics
Safety Chipper Harding (28) leads defensive players down the field during warmups before the Weber State football spring game Saturday, April 11, 2026, at Stewart Stadium in Ogden.Below is a roster prospectus for Weber State football’s 2026 team, based on the team’s published fall camp roster. Subject to change.
Of note: The NCAA Division I passed the new “5 for 5” eligibility framework, meaning athletes have five years to complete five seasons of eligibility with no redshirts and waivers/eligibility pauses only for military service, missionary service and maternity leave.
To account for the new framework, College Sports Communicators and ESPN recommend the continued use of labels freshman, sophomore, junior and senior, while adding “5th Year” to the end of the timeline as the designation for fifth-year players.
