In a monumental achievement for both the player and the program, Texas A&M quarterback Conner Weigman has been named one of TIME 100’s Most Influential People in Sports. The recognition places him among an elite group of global athletes and changemakers whose impact transcends the playing field.
Weigman, a rising star in college football, has been steadily gaining national attention not just for his on-field excellence, but for his leadership, character, and influence off the gridiron.

Beyond football, Weigman has become known for his philanthropic efforts, mentorship of younger athletes, and strong presence in the NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) space. He represents a modern athlete—focused on performance, but equally invested in impact.
With this recognition, Conner Weigman’s journey enters a new chapter. From leading the Aggies on the field to shaping the culture of college sports, he is proving that influence in sports goes far beyond touchdowns and trophies.
And for Texas A&M, the future couldn’t look brighter.
