Weston Robert Schweitzer (born September 11, 1993) is an American football offensive guard for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League. He played college football at San José State University.
Born in Scottsdale, Arizona, Schweitzer graduated from Chaparral High School in Scottsdale in 2011. Schweitzer also was a wrestler in high school in addition to playing football, and he only joined the football starting lineup as a senior. Schweitzer originally planned on joining the Marines after high school, until he began receiving athletic scholarship offers.
A two-star recruit, Schweitzer attracted six offers from Air Force, Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, New Mexico, San Jose State, and Utah State. On January 28, 2011, Schweitzer signed with San Jose State.
Schweitzer redshirted his true freshman season in 2011. As a redshirt freshman in 2012 under coach Mike MacIntyre, Schweitzer played in seven games and started at left tackle on September 22 against Colorado State.
In 2013, under new coach Ron Caragher, Schweitzer started all 12 games, again at left tackle, and helped the offense set a school record average 493.2 yards per game. The offensive line also gave up one sack per 23.6 pass attempts, and the yards per rush improved by 0.5 from last season. Schweitzer started all 25 games in the 2014 and 2015 seasons, including San Jose State's victory in the 2015 Cure Bowl. As a senior in 2015, Schweitzer was elected team captain and earned second-team All-MW honors.
