Former Texas A&M QB Conner Weigman linked to Iowa Hawkeyes in NCAA Transfer Portal

The Iowa Hawkeyes seem to be QB-shoppers in the portal this year.

With the NCAA Transfer Portal opening and players announcing that they will be looking for new teams, the Iowa Hawkeyes appear to be early players on the quarterback circuit.

Former Texas A&M QB Conner Weigman has entered the portal and the Iowa Hawkeyes are a team to watch for his services via the portal.

On3’s Pete Nakos has reported that Syracuse, Missouri, Louisville, and Wisconsin will also be teams to keep an eye on as Weigman’s destination.

Conner Weigman announced his intentions to enter the transfer portal from a post on his X account on Tuesday evening after three seasons with the Aggies.

“I will be entering my name into the transfer portal. While this chapter in Aggieland is coming to an end, I am excited to embrace the opportunities ahead with the same passion, determination, and love for the game that got me to the point I’m at today. I look forward to attacking whatever the future holds with everything I’ve got,” Weigman posted.

At 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, Weigman stands tall commanding the pocket. In his three seasons with Texas A&M, he was 219-365 (60%) for 2,694 yards and 19 touchdowns to seven interceptions.

During the 2024 season, Weigman was dealing with a shoulder injury that sidelined him and saw him assume a backup role while being hampered by a bum shoulder.

The Hawkeyes will very likely be in the market for a quarterback and have become a more attractive destination with Tim Lester at the helm after his offensive turnaround in 2024.

Weigman could give Lester the big-bodied, field general quarterback to give Iowa a downfield passing game to stretch defenses out and open up more of the playbook that they lacked this season.

The news of Conner Weigman being tied to the Hawkeyes comes on the heels of Miller Moss, the former USC QB, being linked to Iowa as a possible destination.
