Texas A&M QB Conner Weigman’s Status Uncertain for Upcoming Game

Texas A&M quarterback Conner Weigman's availability for the upcoming game against Florida is in question due to an upper-body injury. Sources indicate that he will be evaluated during pregame warmups to determine if he can play. Weigman has been limited in practice this week and was previously listed as questionable on the SEC injury report. If he is unable to participate, redshirt freshman Marcel Reed is set to make his first career start. Reed has been taking most of the first-team reps in practice while Weigman has been sidelined. In his previous appearances, Reed has shown promise, having played in a backup role against McNeese, where he threw for 71 yards and rushed for 43 yards. He also had a notable performance in last season's Texas Bowl, where he threw for 361 yards despite the team's loss to Oklahoma State. This experience could be beneficial as he steps into a starting role if needed. Weigman, a highly regarded recruit from the class of 2022, has had a modest start to the season, accumulating 225 passing yards over two games with two touchdowns and two interceptions. His performance has been hampered by injuries, including a foot injury last season that limited him to just four games. The Aggies are set to open SEC play in a challenging environment at The Swamp, making the decision on Weigman's status critical for the team's chances. The coaching staff's evaluation during warmups will ultimately dictate the game plan moving forward.
