Houston quarterback Conner Weigman was recently named to the prestigious Johnny Unitas Golden Arm watch list, adding to his Maxwell Award nomination earlier this month. This recognition places him among the nation's elite senior and upperclassman quarterbacks.
Last season, Weigman showcased his talent with 2,705 passing yards and 25 touchdowns, complemented by 700 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns. Despite a challenging start to his college career marked by injuries at Texas A&M, he has emerged as a standout in the Big 12.
Weigman led Houston to a 10-3 record and a Kinder's Texas Bowl victory against LSU. His offensive prowess, including pocket awareness and arm talent, was pivotal. He joins an exclusive group of quarterbacks with over 10 wins, 3,000 total yards, and 35 touchdowns since 2021.
This season, Weigman benefits from a strong supporting cast, including top receivers Amare Thomas and Trent Walker, and formidable offensive linemen Shadre Hurst and Anthony Boswell. While winning the Golden Arm award is a long shot, his watch list inclusion signifies national recognition.
