Texas A&M quarterback Conner Weigman has officially announced his decision to enter the transfer portal, signaling the end of his tenure with the Aggies. Weigman, who was widely regarded as one of the top quarterbacks in the SEC, made the announcement on social media, stating that he was ready to explore new opportunities for the next chapter of his college football career.
Weigman, a highly touted recruit from Cypress, Texas, arrived at Texas A&M with great expectations in 2022. After redshirting his freshman season, he emerged as the Aggies’ starting quarterback in 2023. He displayed flashes of brilliance throughout the season, showcasing his arm strength, mobility, and leadership on the field. Despite some struggles, the 6-foot-3 signal-caller was a key part of the Aggies’ offense.
However, Texas A&M has faced significant challenges over the past few seasons, including coaching changes and inconsistent play. The Aggies finished the 2023 season with a 5-7 record, failing to make a bowl game for the second consecutive year. Head coach Jimbo Fisher was fired midseason, and the program is now under the leadership of new head coach Mike Elko, which likely played a role in Weigman’s decision.
Weigman’s decision to enter the portal is seen as a major development for the Aggies, who will now need to navigate the search for a new starting quarterback. He has expressed his desire to continue his football career at a program that aligns with his goals and aspirations.
As a highly recruited quarterback, Weigman will likely have numerous suitors in the transfer portal, and his decision will be closely watched as teams across the country look to add a potential game-changing quarterback to their roster.
