Houston QB Snubbed: Top 100 List Ignores Big 12 Star

Houston Cougars quarterback Conner Weigman has been a significant factor in the team's recent success. After transferring from Texas A&M, Weigman provided stability and a dual-threat dimension to Houston's offense. This led to the team achieving 10 wins last season, a feat not seen since 2021, and securing a ranked finish. Weigman was recognized as the MVP of the Texas Bowl for his standout performance against LSU.

Despite his contributions and leading Houston into what is anticipated as a strong senior season, Weigman appears to be overlooked by national media. He was not included in On3's recent ranking of the top 100 players for the 2026 college football season. This omission is particularly surprising given his statistics: 2705 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, a 65% completion rate, and 700 rushing yards with 11 touchdowns. His overall rating and dual-threat ability are comparable to other quarterbacks who were ranked.

Weigman's consistency and production place him among the top quarterbacks in the Big 12 conference. With the same offensive coordinator returning, he is expected to have a standout final collegiate season. His performance metrics rival those of players ranked on the top 100 list, suggesting a potential underestimation of his capabilities by national analysts, especially considering his proven record in Power Four competition and his dynamic rushing ability.
