Benched by Collin Klein, Houston QB Conner Weigman now faces Kansas State
A Texas A&M benching changed Conner Weigman's path. Now the Houston QB is set for a reunion with Collin Klein and Kansas State.
Down by 10 early in a 2024 game against then-No. 8 LSU, Texas A&M quarterback Conner Weigman was replaced with Marcel Reed. Weigman's performance that day was lackluster, completing 6 of 18 attempts for 64 yards and facing multiple sacks. Reed, on the other hand, contributed with an impressive 62 yards on the ground and three touchdowns, leading the Aggies to a comeback victory.
Following this, Reed became Texas A&M's third-year starter and is now set to lead the team in their upcoming matchup against Kansas State. Weigman, seeking a fresh start, transferred to Houston before the 2025 season and has continued to excel under coach Willie Fritz, leading the 19th-ranked Cougars and ranking among the most efficient passers in college football.
In a preseason game against Kansas State at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, Weigman will face Klein, his former offensive coordinator, who praised Weigman's leadership and competitiveness.
