Excerpt:
The reinvention of Conner Weigman. He didn’t need rescuing. He needed the right coach, the right locker room, and a place quiet enough to remember who he was.
Now Houston may have one of the most dangerous quarterbacks in the Big 12.

I honestly think Weigman does need “reinvented” at all. In his past, he has gotten what he didn’t need- bad luck, coaching changes, and injuries. He has not gotten what he needed- good health and consistent coaching. He got a raw deal with the farmers in that expectations were off the charts with a team that looked for real on paper but pooped on the field-(as the farmers always do.) I think we saw flashes of what Weigman is capable of @ UH and hopefully he will rise to the occasion this year and become the player we expect. He is already a good player, but he could really blossom this year.

He rose to that last season, I expect this season to be even better.

I honestly do not care that the National media ignores Conner. What matters to me is how he responded to adversity last season. He started great then he hit a brick wall, was injured and more importantly questioned himself. He got out of it like leaders do. That to me is more important than any analyst dissecting every possible flaws. Ask LSU after thinking they would smoke him. They got BBQed. He has a great coaching staff around him with new weapons. What happened yesterday means squat. Let’s go Conner.

After reading the article, I have to give a shout out to author Lee Ann Herring-Olvdeo. Well written piece. Too good for a sports profile.
Texas A&M, by inference, does not fare well in the piece on developing Weigman. You have to wonder why Weigman’s mechanics were not correct while at Texas A&M. His QB coaches were Dameyune Craig, Bobby Petrino, and Collin Klein. In fairness to Petrino, who was QB coach in 2023, Weigman started 4 games in 2023, and then had a season ending foot injury.
Weigman’s college football journey has had its ups and downs. He now has a coach that beleives in him. I think Weigman’s best is yet to come.

Connor is a bad a#%. One of my favorite Coog athletes.

To get down, question yourself and to come out, playing better is what leaders are made off.

Along with everything else, he should be a great mentor for Keisean.

I wasn’t sure about Weigman going into last year, but now I think our QB situation is in very good hands and look forward to seeing his development in 2026. It’s always admirable for a player to overcome adversity and find success, and it has helped Weigman has developed solid leadership skills.

I don’t expect anything, I’m going to enjoy watching him play the best he can play in 2026. Totally agree he will be an excellent mentor…to entire QB room.

It’s good for Keisean to be able to redshirt and get used to the college game while learning the system watching how Weigman plays and leads. He will be better for it when he gets to start in the 2027 season.
Who said Henderson is redshirting?

I assuming it (although I thought I read it somewhere), but it doesn’t mean he actually is. That’s the normal MO, but I guess this could be abnormal. He would waste a year of eligibility, but if he is planning on going pro early, I guess it doesn’t matter.
He’s not supposed to be redshirting from the GoCoogs articles I’ve read… in fact, he should have a lot of packages designed for him.
I can’t wait to see Wiggy & Kei in the backfield at the same time… both can run & throw… should be an offensive coordinator’s dream.

When I asked my Aggie friends about Weigman, they said he needed to get healthy and we would love him.
