Weber State football has announced the signings of eight incoming transfers and made official one more coach, while another expected coach is already out the door.
On Wednesday, WSU made official that new head coach Eric Kjar has hired former player Isiah Jackson as receivers coach. Jackson played for Kjar at Jordan High School, then at Weber State from 2017-21, and caught a touchdown pass against SEMO in the 2018 playoffs.
Jackson has coached receivers at Morgan High for two seasons, was a graduate assistant for two years at Weber State, and spent the 2025 season coaching receivers at Cedar Valley High School.
Kjar, meanwhile, is on the hunt for a cornerbacks coach. Former WSU and BYU player Eddie Heckard was on board but, after the movement that took both Kyle Whittingham and Jay Hill to Michigan, Heckard has followed to become assistant cornerbacks coach at Michigan.
Friday marked the final day of this offseason’s only transfer portal window; linebacker Aidan O’Callaghan announced he’s entered, pushing WSU’s list of outgoing players to 30 or more.
Meanwhile, Weber began to announce players it’s picking up via transfer Thursday and Friday. Five are FBS transfers, including quarterback Devin Brown from Cal.
Here’s a quick look at the transfers Weber State has signed.
