Conner Weigman had a lot of preseason buzz. The Texas A&M quarterback was hyped on several preseason watch lists and top prospect rankings for the 2025 NFL Draft.
In his 2024 season debut, Weigman looked nothing like an NFL prospect. Texas A&M couldn’t do much of anything against Notre Dame’s defense in the Fighting Irish’s 23-13 win in College Station. Much of that lack of offensive success stemmed from the quarterback.
Weigman was consistently off-target all night. He completed just 12 of his 30 pass attempts, netting just 100 passing yards. Easily rattled by pressure, Weigman threw two interceptions as well. The 21-year-old redshirt sophomore lacked composure and confidence in his throws.
Many analysts expected Weigman to rise up into a potential first-round prospect now that Max Johnson transferred out of the Aggies program and left Weigman as the unquestioned top dog. Against Notre Dame, Weigman looked very much like a young, inexperienced QB with a very long was to go before even thinking about the NFL.
