Throwing touchdowns to FSU legends such as Peter Warrick, Anquan Boldin, Ron Dugans, and Snoop Minnis, he amassed 3,103 yards and 25 scores as the Seminoles defeated Virginia Tech for a national title in his junior year.
"Weinke, going into his third season with the Yellow Jackets, is now under contract through Jan. 31, 2026. His original contract, which went into effect Jan. 1, 2023, was to expire Jan. 31, 2025," the report stated. "Weinke also received a bump in pay from an original base salary of $600,000 to now $700,000. Starting Feb. 1, Weinke’s annual salary will increase to $750,000."
Weinke’s coaching acumen includes helping stars like Nick Foles, Case Keenum, Jared Goff, Jalen Hurts, and Tua Tagovailoa progress in their careers. He now helps coach Georgia Tech’s star quarterback, Haynes King, under the title of Assistant Head Coach, Quarterbacks Coach, and Co-Offensive Coordinator.
