Former Oregon State All American Dennis Weathersby is in critical condition
after he was shot three times in the back by suspected gang members on Sunday,
police said.
A potential first-round National Football League draft pick, this will
obviously effect his future.
Weathersby was apparently getting into his car parked on Merridian Avenue at
Citrus View Avenue when several alleged gang members in a white SUV drove up and
its occupants opened fire, Williams said.
"There has been in that area particularly a lot of shootings over the
past year or two that have been between rival gangs,' Williams said. "So,
the potential is high that that is a factor.'
All-American and Pacific-10 selection, Weathersby was only the fourth player
to ever be named to the All-Academic team four times. After a solid
career at Oregon State Weathersby had improved his draft status after
surprisingly turning in a pair of forties under the 4.4 barrier during
February's combine.
