In an article published by On3, one of the leaders in college football news and recruiting, writer Jesse Simonton asked each SEC West team their most important question heading into the offseason, ranging from Alabama’s potential offensive line issues to Mississippi State’s unusual kicker problem since Mike Leach’s hiring. When the article landed on Texas A&M, the question was asked “Will Jimbo Fisher settle on a quarterback during fall camp or keep the job semi-open until a showdown with Miami in Week 3?”
The question is not new by any means, but it does make one wonder if the competition will still be going or decided before the season opener against Sam Houston State on September 3rd. During the spring game, all three Quarterbacks, Max Johnson, Haynes King, and Conner Weigman had their share of impressive moments, paired with a number of plays that show why there is an ongoing competition in the first place.
As the article notes, Max Johnson is an accurate thrower who brings experience in the SEC, and Haynes King, while having a lack of playing experience, knows the playbook inside and out after a year in the system. Then there’s Conner Weigman, who’s perhaps the most talented of all three, but most likely needs a full year to learn the Jimbo Fisher offense, is still a legitimate option to win the job if his learning curve is faster than we think.
Lastly, with Miami being the first “big name” matchup in week 3 of the 2022 season, an announcement of the starting Quarterback for the Aggies needs to come before the season opener, and Jimbo Fisher will have quite the predicament during the choosing process; Experience? Familiarity? Talent? Godspeed.
