This was the most obvious choice on the roster and I had to go for it because a breakout list wouldn’t make a ton of sense without the one guy who could go from backup to All-SEC quarterback in one year.

Conner Weigman was also a five-star during his recruiting days and when he committed to Texas A&M, there was some chatter that he could even contend for the starting job right away.

Haynes King got the nod and struggled while LSU transfer Max Johnson only played four games. Weigman played in five games and didn’t do too shabby, passing for 896 yards and eight touchdowns with zero interceptions. A freshman throwing 132 passes without a single interception is unheard of and it should be a sign of things to come.

The Aggies should be in good hands this coming season when Weigman takes over as he looks like a strong, capable starter who just needs to work on his accuracy.

I’m thinking a 3,000-yard, 20-plus touchdown season is coming.
