Conner McQueen joined the USC staff in January of 2022 as a graduate assistant working with the quarterbacks. He spent the previous two seasons (2020-21) at Oklahoma as an offensive analyst.
McQueen, 29, was a backup quarterback and a holder on placekicks at Texas A&M from 2012 to 2016.
McQueen was a backup to former Heisman Winner Johnny Manziel, plus quarterbacks Kenny Hill and Matt Joeckel. He also played with Pro Bowl receiver Mike Evans and was coached by Kevin Sumlin, Jake Spavital and Kliff Kingsbury.
Clint Killough was hired as Incarnate Word’s head coach on December 15, 2022, to replace G.J Kinne after Kinne was hired as the head coach at Texas State.
You can see that a few programs are magnets for Lincoln Riley and Mike Leach disciples. North Texas, Washington State, and Incarnate Word are three of them. Eric Morris, previously at Washington State and Incarnate Word, recently was hired as head coach at North Texas. USC lost a staffer to North Texas. Now it is losing one to Incarnate Word. People with ties to either Riley or Leach — if not both — are circulating among a few programs, looking for the right fit and a catapult for their careers.
SOURCE: USC GA Conner McQueen is expected to become the new OC at Incarnate Word. The 29-year-old former Texas A&M QB coached previously at OU & UCLA, working closely with Lincoln Riley and Chip Kelly, and helped in the development of Heisman winner Caleb Williams.
