Texas A&M sophomore quarterback Conner Weigman will miss the rest of the 2023 season with the leg injury he suffered on Saturday, as first reported by the Houston Chronicle’s Brent Zwerneman.
Weigman went down with a leg injury in the late second quarter after he took a low hit. He stood on his own, but the quarterback was visibly limping and escorted to the locker room by trainers shortly after.
Liucci reported the injury was to a “weight-bearing bone” and would demand a recovery time north of three months.
The Aggies standout has led the SEC in QBR the entire season, posting an 87.8 mark for the year, 4th-best in the country. He’s thrown for eight touchdowns, run for two more, and only thrown two interceptions. He’s completed 68.9% of his passes for 979 yards, averaging 8.2 yards per attempt.
The Aggies now turn to Max Johnson, the former LSU starter. Johnson completed 7 of his 11 passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns against Auburn, earning a QBR of 96.2 in relief of Weigman. His first test as a starter will come against Arkansas on Saturday.
