One of the first major decisions that Steve Sarkisian will have to make in the recruiting world will be at quarterback for 2022. Of course, Quinn Ewers is the ultimate goal, but the five-star Southlake Carroll product has shown no signs of backing off of his commitment to Ohio State.
Another option is now off the table as four-star quarterback Conner Weigman committed to Texas A&M on Thursday. Not only is he expected to play football during his time in college station but baseball as well. Weigman could even be a better prospect on the diamond.
On the 247Sports composite, Weigman ranks as the No. 5 dual-threat quarterback and the No. 93 overall player in the country. Within the state of Texas, he is the No. 16 prospect and the second-highest ranked quarterback.
The Aggies now have four commits in their 2022 cycle and rank as the No. 8 class in the country. Each commit is an in-state prospect and top 160 talent. The early momentum is in thanks to their Orange Bowl-winning season that finished with a 9-1 record.
