Clayton Weishuhn was a three-time first team All-Lone Star Conference selection during his career from 1978-81 and one of the top defensive players to wear an Angelo State uniform.
Weishuhn played during the most successful era in Ram football as ASU posted a 39-8-1 record during his four years with the program. He was a part of Angelo State teams that made three-straight postseason appearances, the only such streak in school history. As a freshman, he was a member of the ASU football team that won the NAIA national championship, going 14-0, the program's only undefeated season.
He ended his playing career as the Rams' all-time leading tackler with 523 stops, a record that he still holds to this day. After earning second team All-American honors as a junior, Weishuhn was a consensus first team All-American pick after his senior season in 1981 after setting the school record with 173 tackles. He was named first team All-LSC after each of his three final seasons (1979-81) and was a two-time selection for the J.V. Sikes Award (1980-81) given to the outstanding lineman in the LSC.
Weishuhn is one of nine former ASU players to go on to a playing career in the National Football League as he was drafted by the New England Patriots in the third round of the 1982 draft.
