After a three-year stint in College Station with mixed results, Connor Weigman is officially “coming home.”
The former Texas A&M Aggies quarterback entered his name into the transfer portal in early December, but revealed his next destination on Wednesday night, joining coach Willie Fritz and the Houston Cougars for his final two seasons. announced.
“I’m going home,” Weigman wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Time to go to Work H Town.”

In three seasons with the Aggies, Weigman had 219 hits for 2,694 yards and 19 touchdowns in 365 games, but played in only 15 games. A series of injuries derailed his early season, and it was the same again by the time he was named the starter in coach Mike Elko’s first season.
Weigman missed the second half of the game against McNeese State last season in a loss to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. From there, he missed three games, but returned against the Missouri Tigers and looked ready to lead the Aggies to the College Football Playoff.
Unfortunately for him, the game didn’t end that way, and Marcel Reed, who substituted in the second half of the Aggies’ home game against the LSU Tigers, will be at center for the remainder of the season.
Next year, Weigman will look to have a fully healthy season with the Cougars and find a consistent rhythm. Meanwhile, the Aggies will look to bounce back from a disappointing showing leading up to conference play and move forward with Reid.
