College Career Summary

Conner Weigman is a former five-star recruit whose career has been defined by high-ceiling potential and a resilient "bounce back" narrative. After starting his career at Texas A&M, where flashes of brilliance were often interrupted by injuries (notably a season-ending foot injury in 2023), Weigman transferred to Houston for the 2025 season.

Under head coach Willie Fritz, Weigman revitalized his draft stock, leading the Cougars to a successful 10-3 season. He provided the stability the program needed, demonstrating elite processing and the ability to distribute the ball to playmakers like Tanner Koziol and Amare Thomas. His season culminated in a dominant Texas Bowl victory over LSU, where he threw for four touchdowns, proving he can perform on a national stage against SEC-level talent.

NFL Scouting Report

Strengths

• Elite Processing & IQ: Weigman is a "student of the game." He excels at pre-snap identification and post-snap adjustments, rarely getting fooled by disguised coverages.

• Tight-Window Accuracy: His baseball background manifests in his ability to throw from various arm angles and "zip" the ball into condensed windows over the middle.

• Athletic Upside: While he prefers to win from the pocket, he is a dangerous scrambler. His 11 rushing touchdowns in 2025 highlight his effectiveness in the red zone and on designed runs.

• Timing and Rhythm: When the offense is on schedule, he is surgical. He has a natural feel for high-low concepts and anticipation throws.

Weaknesses

• Durability History: Despite staying healthy for the 2025 campaign, his previous injuries at Texas A&M remain a significant talking point for NFL medical staffs.

• Mechanical Consistency: Under heavy duress, his base can widen, leading to "sailing" throws or underthrown deep balls.

• Risk Management: He has a "gunslinger" streak that can lead to turnover-worthy plays when he tries to force balls against elite safety play.

Scheme Fit

• Primary Fit: Pro-Style / West Coast Hybrid. He would flourish in a timing-based system like the Miami Dolphins or Los Angeles Rams, where quick decision-making and intermediate accuracy are prioritized.

Scout's Final Word

"Conner Weigman is a 'rhythm' thrower with the frame and IQ that NFL teams crave. His 2025 season at Houston proved he could lead a productive offense and stay on the field. While he might not have the 'cannon' arm of some top prospects, his ability to manipulate defenders and hit hole shots makes him a potential Day 2 selection (Round 2-3) with the ceiling of a long-term NFL starter."
