* As a Player

A former special teams standout and four-year staff member at Kansas State, Stanton Weber is in his first season as the Wildcats’ special teams coordinator in 2026.

Weber has spent the last three seasons as the special teams coordinator at Toledo as he was named a finalist for the 2024 Special Teams Coordinator of the Year by FootballScoop in addition to the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) 35 Under 35 Leadership Institute.

Prior to his time at Toledo, he spent two seasons as a special teams analyst at South Carolina after getting his start in coaching at K-State, first as an offensive graduate assistant in 2017 and 2018 before becoming a special teams quality control coach in 2019 and 2020.

Weber presided over five All-Mid-American Conference (MAC) honorees during his tenure at Toledo, including three-straight kickoff return specialists, a punt returner and a kicker. Additionally, the Rockets blocked six punts over his three years.

In 2025, Weber helped the Rockets earn an 8-4 record and a trip to the Boca Raton Bowl. Toledo finished the regular season ranking fourth in the nation in blocked punts (3), eighth in total blocked kicks, 20th in punt-return defense (4.22) and 31st in punt returns (11.48). Both kickoff returner Trayvon Rudolph (second team) and punt returner Bryson Hammer (third team) earned All-MAC honors. Rudolph ranks 33rd nationally with a 21.6-yard average on kickoff returns, including one he returned 96 yards for a touchdown. Hammer ranks 14th in the country in punt-return average at 12.3, while his 333 total punt-return yards rank sixth.

Under Weber, kickoff-returner Jacquez Stuart finished off his career with consecutive All-MAC First Team honors in 2023 and 2024. He led the MAC and finished fifth in the country in 2024 after averaging 34.0 yards per return – which was highlighted by a 98-yard touchdown – as the Rockets ranked 21st in the nation with a team average of 24.07 yards. The year prior, Stuart ranked third in the country with a 29.1-yard average. He totaled 582 kickoff-return yards on the year, which included a 97-yard score to open the game against Buffalo.

The 2023 season also saw Weber guide Luke Pawlak to All-MAC Second Team accolades after connecting on 12-of-15 field goals (80.0%), which included a long of 44 yards in the season opener at Illinois as part of a season-high three field goals.

In 2024, Weber’s special teams ranked in the top 30 in blocked punts (20th; 1), kickoff returns (21st; 24.07), punt returns (22nd; 12.95), punt return defense (27th; 4.89) and blocked kicks (27th; 2). His 2023 units ranked highly in blocked punts (3rd; 2) and kickoff-return defense (11th; 16.00).

Prior to his time at Toledo, Weber spent two seasons as a special teams analyst at South Carolina. In 2022, the Gamecocks were ranked No. 1 in the country in special teams efficiency by ESPN, led the SEC in punt-return average and had the nation’s longest kickoff return of the season (100 yards) against Texas A&M. They were also second in the SEC in yards per punt and were 11-of-11 on field goal attempts.

A native of Overland Park, Kansas, Weber was a three-time First Team Academic All-Big 12 performer as a wide receiver and special teams standout for the Wildcats from 2011-15. A team captain as a senior in 2015, Weber played in 46 career games and finished with 19 tackles. He helped K-State accumulate a 34-18 record, earn a Big 12 championship in 2012 and advance to five straight bowl games.

Weber comes from an athletic family, all of whom played collegiately at Kansas State. His father, Stan, was a quarterback for the Wildcats from 1980-84 and is currently the lead analyst on the K-State Sports Network; his brother Landry was a wide receiver for the Wildcats from 2017-21; and his sister McKenzi played volleyball at K-State from 2016-19.

Weber has three degrees from Kansas State, earning his bachelor’s (2015) and master’s (2016) degrees in accounting prior to obtaining an MBA in 2019. He and his wife, Natalie, were married in July of 2022.
