The Texas A&M Aggies 2023 season was derailed last fall, when starting quarterback Conner Weigman was lost for the year with a foot injury in Week 4 vs. Auburn.

The injury, which was initially described as 'day-to-day' by former head coach Jimbo Fisher, ended up requiring surgery.

Now, six and a half months later, Weigman is still trying to get back to full health. But according Weigman himself, he is nearly there, and is right on the cusp of being 100 percent.

"I’m feeling good," Weigman said Wednesday. "We’re almost there. We’re pushing hard every day to get it where it needs to be in the training room.”

Weigman got off to a fast start to his career with the Aggies, taking over as the starter in late October of the 2022 season, and setting a freshman passing record with 338 yards and four touchowns through the air.

He would end up leading the Aggies to a 2-2 record as a starter, including an upset win over LSU.

The expectation was that his momentum would carry into 2023. However, that was quickly derailed by the injury. And for the last few months, Weigman has wanted nothing more than to return to the field and pick up where he left off.

“I love the game of football, and having something you love taken away from you is tough mentally,” Weigman said. “You don’t realize how much you love something until it’s taken away from you, so I’m thankful to be back with my teammates.”

Now, Weigman's focus is on catching getting both his body and mind back into football game shape - a process which, despite being a bit of an adjustment at first, has been coming along quite nicely for the Aggies' starter.

“Being away for six months, the game sped up the first couple of practices a little bit," Weigman said. "It’s just like riding a bike. Ever since then, I’ve just been getting back and riding.”
