Impact HVAC Player of the Week: Connor Weigman (QB, Houston)
Houston found a different gear in its road win at Arizona State, and the player who swung the game decisively was quarterback Connor Weigman. He completed 17-of-22 passes for 201 yards and 1 touchdown and added 111 rushing yards with 2 rushing touchdowns, providing a dual-threat performance that turned a tight contest into a controlling victory. Weigman’s ability to manage the pocket, pick spots in the passing game, and then break containment with his legs opened lanes and forced Arizona State to defend both phases of Houston’s offense.
Weigman’s rushing explosiveness changed the game’s tone late in key sequences, converting third downs and finishing drives with decisive scores. His passing was efficient and error-free enough to keep the scoreboard moving, while his runs — both designed and scrambles — flipped field position and wore down the Sun Devils’ front. Through that combination, Houston sustained long drives and finished with momentum that separated them in the second half.
Avery Johnson (QB, Kansas State): 11-17, 231 yards, 2 passing TDs, 2 rushing TDs.
KJ Duff (WR, Rutgers): 6 receptions, 241 yards, 1 TD.
Joey Aguilar (QB, Tennessee): 20-26, 396 yards, 3 TDs.
Haynes King (QB, Georgia Tech): 25-31, 304 yards, 3 TDs, 91 rushing yards, 2 rushing TDs.
Anthony Hill Jr. (LB, Texas): 10 tackles, 2.5 sacks.
Eddie Walls III (DL, Houston): 5 tackles, 3 sacks.
Quick verdict
Weigman’s mix of efficient passing and game-altering rushing makes him this week’s Impact HVAC Player of the Week. His three-touchdown performance and ability to create on the ground gave Houston the edge in a big road victory, and his versatility projects as a matchup problem for opponents as the season progresses.
