Draft Profile: Bio
Born and raised in Cypress, Texas, Weigman accounted for 34 touchdowns and nearly 2,900 total yards as a senior at Bridgeland High School, earning District Offensive Player of the Year honors and an Elite 11 Finals selection as a five-star recruit.At Texas A&M, Weigman set the program's true freshman passing record with 338 yards against Ole Miss, then threw for 979 yards with eight touchdowns and two interceptions in 2023 before a season-ending injury. More injuries and a benching in favor of Marcel Reed followed in 2024, prompting his transfer to Houston.
Weigman started 13 games for Houston in 2025, throwing for 2,705 yards with 25 touchdowns against nine interceptions as the Cougars finished 10-3. He passed for 306 yards and two touchdowns at Oklahoma State and threw four touchdown passes against West Virginia. In the Texas Bowl, Weigman went 27 of 36 for 236 yards and four touchdowns, tying a bowl record shared by Patrick Mahomes, and earned MVP honors as Houston rallied from 14-0 down to beat LSU 38-35.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- A live-armed rhythm passer who threw 25 scores in his first Houston year
- Clutch under pressure, four game-winning drives and a Texas Bowl MVP
- Carved LSU for four scores in the bowl, a 38-35 signature win
- Five-star pedigree with the quick release that made him a top recruit
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Extensive injury history, including a lower-leg injury that cost much of 2023
- Consistency wavers outside his rhythm spots, with placement that comes and goes
- A modest athlete whose arm does not consistently drive the deep ball
- Took time to earn back trust after his Texas A&M struggles
- Modest vertical production, leaning on the short and intermediate game
Scouting Report: Summary
Weigman was a five-star and the top-ranked quarterback in his class at Texas A&M before injuries and inconsistency derailed his time there; he transferred to Houston in 2025 and led the Cougars to 10-3 with 2,705 yards and 25 touchdowns in his first year under Willie Fritz. He is a live-armed rhythm passer with a quick release and a flair for the clutch, with four game-winning drives on the season.He closed the year as Texas Bowl MVP, carving LSU for four scores in a 38-35 win with a record bowl completion rate, the kind of poised, efficient game that rebuilt his stock. He returns to Houston in 2026 to build on it. The five-star tools and the late-season poise are the reasons to bet on him, even as the extensive medical history demands a long look.
The durability and the consistency are the flags. His injury history is extensive, including a lower-leg injury that cost much of 2023, his accuracy wavers outside of rhythm, and he is an average athlete whose arm does not consistently drive the deep ball, leaning instead on the short and intermediate game. On balance, he is a developmental pocket passer with starter pedigree and clutch flashes, a Day 3 projection whose health and downfield consistency are the swing traits.
