Hall of Fame
A 1957 graduate of ETSU with a degree in business, Herb Weaver provided the complete package for the Buccaneer men’s basketball team from 1953 to 1957. A tenacious defender and exceptional rebounder, the native of Roanoke, Va., currently holds the ETSU single-season record for total rebounds and rebounds per game with 607 boards for a 21.7 average in 1956-57. He also ranks No. 3 on those same lists, with 408 rebounds for an average of 15.1 boards per game during the 1955-56 season. In addition to his prowess under the basket and on the defensive end of the floor, Weaver also ranks 22nd on the ETSU all-time scoring list with 1,064 points, joining just 26 other former Bucs who have eclipsed that mark. During his time at ETSU, Weaver helped the Bucs to several successful seasons, including a 23-win season in 1953-54 and a 20-win season in 1955-56. Weaver, who died June 22, 1993, is survived by his wife, Ann, and two daughters, Laura Lynn and Alison Ann.
