Texas A&M quarterback Conner Weigman plans to enter the transfer portal, he told ESPN Tueseday. The former five-star prospect will have two seasons of eligibility remaining.
“I feel like my best football is ahead of me,” Weigman told ESPN. “I wasn’t able to reach my full potential where I was at. I know what I’m capable of and what I can bring to a team and program. … I’m looking forward to being able to give a team everything I got. I’m going to leave it all on the table.

Marcel Reed led the team to a comeback 38-23 win over the Tigers and Weigman was religated to the bench for the rest of the year.
Weigman has appeared in 15 games during his college career, throwing for 2,694 yards and 19 touchdowns.
