Texas A&M QB Conner Weigman wants to continue his college football career elsewhere.
The Aggies’ Week 1 starter told ESPN he is entering the transfer window. Weigman will have two seasons of eligibility remaining at his new school and will be one of the top transfer quarterbacks before the 2024 season.
“I feel like my best football is ahead of me,” Weigman told ESPN. “I wasn’t able to reach my full potential where I was. I know what I’m capable of and what I can bring to the team and the program.”
Weigman won the starting job over Marcel Reed before suffering a shoulder injury in the Aggies’ Week 1 loss to Notre Dame. Weigman started in Week 2 against McNeese State but missed nearly a month with an injury.
When he was out, Reed replaced him and returned on October 5 against Missouri. Weigman had one of the best games of his career against the Tigers, going 18-of-22 for 276 yards and also rushing five times for 33 yards in the Aggies’ win.
Weigman made two more starts after that win, but was substituted at halftime against LSU after going just 6-of-18 for 64 yards in the first two quarters. Reed came in and sparked a 31-point second-half attack en route to a 38-23 win and has held down the starting job since then, as Weigman saw only a brief amount of playing time in a win over New Mexico State in November.
A four-star recruit in the class of 2022, Weigman was the top dual-threat quarterback in his class and the No. 7 prospect in the state of Texas. He played in five games as a freshman as the Aggies dealt with serious injuries in their QB room.
Weigman entered the 2023 season as the Aggies’ starter and started the first four games. However, he left the fourth game of the season against Auburn with a foot injury that proved to be season-ending and ended up redshirting. For his career, Weigman is 219 of 365 passing for 2,694 yards and 19 TDs with seven interceptions through 15 games.
