Marc Weekly

Title:
Volunteer Asst. Coach

Marc Weekly begins his eighth season as a member of the Lady Vol softball staff in the capacity of a volunteer coach after working with Co-Head Coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly in camps and summer clinics for over 15 years. He will work primarily with UT[apos]s catchers and outfielders and will also assist with hitting instruction. Weekly started at quarterback at Pacific Lutheran University for four seasons (1990-93) during which he led the Lutes to four NAIA Division-II national playoff appearances and two national championship games. In 1993, he guided PLU to the program[apos]s third NAIA Division-II National Championship and was named the Most Valuable Player in each contest during the squad[apos]s playoff run. The 1993 first-team All-American was accountable for six touchdowns in the title tilt, throwing for four scores and running for two more in a 50-20 rout of Westminster, Pa., in Portland, Ore. Weekly continues to hold season and career records at Pacific Lutheran for most passing yards (3,722 in 1993; 9,737 from 1990-93), most touchdown passes (46 in 1993; 115 from 1990-93) and most total offense (4,065 yds. in 1993; 10,977 from 1990-93). Following his collegiate experience at Pacific Lutheran, Weekly, a former Associated Press Blue Chip Pick in baseball, was offered a minor league contract as a catcher in the Seattle Mariners organization, but turned it down to sign a deal with the Edmonton Eskimos in the Canadian Football League (CFL). After two years with the Eskimos, he enrolled at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in the master[apos]s program and served as a football graduate assistant for two years working with the UTC quarterbacks and kickers. A 2004 inductee in the Pacific Lutheran University Athletic Hall of Fame, Weekly holds a bachelor[apos]s degree from PLU and a master[apos]s degree from Chattanooga. He currently resides in Seymour, Tenn., with his wife Cheryl and three children: Jake, Regan and Garrett.
