Five-star freshman Conner Weigman enters game against South Carolina
For the first time in his career, five-star freshman quarterback Conner Weigman has entered the game for Texas A&M.
(This story will continue to be updated)
Following an upper body injury to starting quarterback Haynes King in the fourth quarter, Weigman was called to enter the game. He immediately completed his first two attempts. Weigman and the Aggies are currently working to mount a comeback, down three to the Gamecocks with under 10-minutes remaining.
Weigman was ranked as a consensus five-star prospect in the 2022 class. He was the No. 4 quarterback in the nation and the No. 29 overall prospect. He has been fluctuating as second and third string quarterback early in his career after multiple injuries and lack of production at the quarterback position.
Fisher has flirted with the idea of Weigman playing for Texas A&M but up to this point, he had not seen any game action. He said during the week that he was unsure if King would get an opportunity against South Carolina, but another King injury brought Weigman into the game anyways.
