The future at the quarterback position in the age of the transfer portal is always fluid for nearly every Power 5 college football program, and for Texas A&M, starting QB Conner Weigman is currently the position’s star representative. Still, the future may lie with 2024 four-star QB and A&M commit Miles O’Neill, based on what we’ve witnessed thus far.
Evaluating quarterbacks year after year is a struggle in accurately projecting future success. Still, suppose a player consistently displays the most critical traits ranging from arm strength, accuracy, touch, and ability to make plays out of structure. In that case, it’s up to every coaching staff lucky enough to land a premier signal caller to aid their development.
O’Neill, a senior at the Hun School in Princeton, New Jersey, committed to Texas A&M and then-head coach Jimbo Fisher in mid-June and has been rising in the recruiting rankings ever since. Possessing all the traits above, O’Neill’s elastic arm has continuously wowed every Aggie fan and media member alike, most recently displayed during a workout, as seen in the video below.

Yes, it’s O’Neill’s arm strength that sticks out at first view, but how softly the ball dropped into his receiver grasp, coupled with his release, shows a player who has continued to grow and looks like a perfect fit in new Texas A&M offensive coordinator Colin Klein’s scheme once he steps on campus next season and begins his development journey.
According to 247Sports Composite, Miles O’Neill is the 28th-ranked quarterback in the 2024 cycle and the 8th-ranked player out of New Jersey.
