Awards: 2022 ESPN Freshman All-American

Pros: Age, feet are usually smooth and consistent, good weight transfer during throwing motion from clean pocket, adjusts arm angles and slots for throws, hits his back foot and delivers throws on time and in rhythm, high level pocket management vs. against Louisiana-Monroe, eludes pressure in the pocket when he sees it coming, steps up and throws frozen ropes when needed, fearless in the face of pressure, steps up to deliver precise strikes even if it means taking a hit, flashes of throwing receivers open with leverage recognition, flashes of elite accuracy and placement, good velocity on throws outside the numbers, terrific tight window throws up the seam, feathery touch, nice touch to layer throws and float them over defenders, makes correct reads on RPOs, rolls out to extend passing plays, directs receivers to space while on the move, mobility to run when he sees green grass, surprising speed to pick up chunk yardage

Cons: Inexperience, doesn’t recognize blitzes pre-snap, late to spot blind side slot blitzers post-snap, awareness of pressure, inconsistent timing and fluidity working through reads, sawed-off throwing motion, throwing motion might be putting added stress on elbow, throwing motion contributes to sidearm release and uneven shoulders, some shot-putting of the ball, some overstriding, toesy throws while retreating, needs to reset base more often before throwing, throwing while taking hits can be dangerous, will force throws under pressure, vision inconsistent at spotting lurking safeties playing overtop his receiver’s routes, arm falls short of elite, some throws to the sideline lag a bit, underthrown roughly 50-air-yard pass vs. Miami (2023), 46-air-yard throw really hung in the air vs. Miami (2023) but was completed, needs to anticipate or lead receivers more on deep routes, occasionally leads receivers into big hits, some low throws to routes at or near LOS in the flat, accuracy of throws on the run and off-platform declines significantly, multiple throws on the move vs. Miami that were uncatchable for the receiver (2023), not on the same page as his receivers several times vs. Miami (2023), needs to protect himself on the run

Overview: Weigman is a young, inexperienced prospect with fewer than a dozen games under his belt. He doesn’t recognize blitzes pre-snap and is late to identify slot blitzes post-snap. His general awareness of pressure is still developing. Weigman’s footwork is usually smooth and consistent in his drop. He transfers his weight well during his throwing motion when operating in a clean pocket. The Texas native occasionally gets stuck on reads and is inconsistent at working through reads with proper timing. Weigman adjusts his arm angles to meet throwing lanes but has a sawed-off throwing motion. His current throwing motion might be putting added stress on his elbow because it sometimes looks like he’s shot putting the ball. This motion also leads to his upper body being uneven at the release point. Weigman is also guilty of overstriding on throws and throwing on his toes while retreating. He needs to reset his base more often before throwing. Weigman displayed high level pocket management against Louisiana-Monroe (2023) and operates well within structure by hitting his back foot and delivering throws on time and in rhythm. The redshirt sophomore eludes pressure in the pocket when he sees the defenders coming. He is fearless in the face of pressure, but this leads to him throwing while being hit. That alters passes and makes it more likely that he will throw interceptions. Weigman makes it worse by forcing throws under pressure. The former five-star recruit’s vision doesn’t reveal safeties lurking over the top of the receivers he’s targeting. While Weigman steps up and can throw the ball on a rope, he lacks elite arm strength and velocity. His throws to the sideline tend to float a bit and arrive slower than those of other quarterbacks in the 2025 class. He also underthrew several passes of 45 yards or more against Miami (2023). Weigman can compensate for this by better anticipating downfield separation. He is starting to understand how to throw receivers open by maximizing their leverage but also leads receivers into some big hits. Weigman is terrific at painting tight window throws up the seam and applies feathery touch at all levels to layer throws over defenders. He has flashed elite accuracy and ball placement but also suffers from some low throws on short routes. His accuracy on off-platform throws in 2023 was disappointing and didn’t maximize his ability to roll out and extend plays. Weigman has surprising speed to gash defenses for chunks of yardage, but he doesn’t protect himself at the end of runs.

Overall, the elite accuracy and ball placement Weigman flashed during his limited appearances in 2022 and 2023 make him one of the most intriguing prospects entering the upcoming season. Weigman must do a better job protecting himself so he can get the reps necessary to develop an advanced feel for the more complex mental responsibilities top quarterback prospects shoulder.
