Jacob Zeno commits to Texas A&M

On3’s Steve Wiltfong previously submitted a prediction of Zeno going to Texas A&M following his visit.

“Elko and company would love to add Zeno to the very young room,” Wiltfong wrote. “This is his only scheduled visit and we like where the Aggies stand. I have submitted an expert pick on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine for Texas A&M to land Zeno.”

With Zeno in the fold, Texas A&M has a veteran QB alongside young gun Marcel Reed. Former starter Conner Weigman entered the transfer portal prior to the commitment.

Weigman played in nine games for the Aggies over two seasons, completing 62 percent of his passes while throwing for 1,875 yards and 16 touchdowns.

As a recruit, Weigman was the No. 29 overall prospect in the 2022 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also ranked as the nation’s No. 4 quarterback and the No. 8 recruit in Texas.
