The offensive juggernaut he left is still adjusting to the sight, however.

“I know he’s doing well on defense,” Weachter said by phone Tuesday evening, “but we always felt that he’s a better wide receiver.”

McDevitt’s most famous alumnus is Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy, but the program is the only one represented twice among the top five receptions leaders in Pennsylvania high school history.

Hall, who ended his career with 137 grabs for 2,386 yards and 35 touchdowns, helped continue the tradition.

“Marques was at that semifinal game,” Weachter said. “He saw the same thing that we did.

“I knew that they took some other receivers and they wanted to try him at defensive back and I know he’s been playing well there and I’m sure he’ll do well. It’s a good spot for him. Hopefully he’ll progress to, maybe, the next level because that’s what everybody’s looking for, tall and rangy corners.

“But I’m telling you, he could be a great wide receiver.”

Weachter also serves as a physical education teacher at McDevitt. Over four years, he witnessed Hall be a great wiffle ball, dodgeball and handball player.
