Spring Football for Texas A&M has come to a close after the final whistle blew during Saturday’s Maroon and White Spring Game, as the Max Johnson-led White team defeated the Conner Weigman-led Maroon squad 33-19.
It was simply an exhibition game meant to work out the many kinks this team has, as most college football teams in the early offseason possess, the results were noteworthy ahead crucial summer recruiting push, while a bulk of the offensive line, wide receiver core, and defensive back group continue to heal up in preparation for fall camp.
As my Aggies Wire comrade, Pete Hernandez stated after the game, both quarterbacks showed off their arm strength in the first half, as Max Johnson connected with freshman wide receiver Micah Tease on a beautiful go route for the first touchdown of the game, while presumed 2023 starter, Conner Weigman hit star receiver Evan Stewart time and time again in what was a highlight reel game for the ascending sophomore tandem. The bottom line, both signal callers already look comfortable in Bobby Petrino’s offense, and that folks, is a very good sign.
Defensively, injuries at cornerback saw walk-on corner Kent Robinson picked off Weigman, while the vaunted Aggie’s defensive line led by Walter Nolen, Isaiah Raikes, and Shemar Turner impose their will time and time again, as Nolen’s baptism by fire last season has yielded fantastic results heading into 2023.
After the game, senior wide receiver Ainias Smith, safety Bryce Anderson, and defensive lineman Shemar Turner spoke to the media to discuss the offense and defense’s performance on the day. Here’s what they had to say.
