BREAKING: Former QB Stephen McGee Predicts Breakout Texas A&M Stars — Bold Claims Ignite Aggie Hype

Former Texas A&M quarterback Stephen McGee isn’t one to shy away from bold predictions — and his latest outlook for the 2025 football season has sent shockwaves through Aggie Nation. During a recent radio segment, McGee unveiled a list of Texas A&M players he believes are poised to explode onto the national scene this fall. His confident picks, packed with praise and enthusiasm, have already fueled a frenzy of anticipation among fans eager for a return to glory under new head coach Mike Elko.

McGee, who played for the Aggies from 2004 to 2008 and went on to spend time in the NFL, is known for his insight into quarterback play and team dynamics. His assessments carry weight in College Station, and this time, he’s putting his name behind some bold claims that could redefine expectations for the Aggies in 2025.

At the top of McGee’s breakout list is quarterback Conner Weigman, a player he believes is ready to transform from a promising talent into an elite SEC signal-caller.

Weigman has all the tools — a strong arm, quick decision-making, and underrated mobility,” McGee said. “Now he has the right coaching staff to unlock his full potential. Don’t be surprised if he ends up leading the SEC in total offense.”

Weigman, who showed flashes of brilliance last season before an injury cut his campaign short, is expected to thrive in the revamped offensive system installed by Elko and new offensive coordinator Collin Klein. McGee sees the continuity and coaching as key factors in Weigman’s expected leap forward.

“Rueben’s vision and acceleration are off the charts. He’s going to be the guy that keeps defensive coordinators up at night,” McGee said.

The Aggies’ offense is loaded with talent, but McGee believes Owens’ sophomore campaign could draw national attention if he stays healthy. With a more physical offensive line and increased touches, the young back could be Texas A&M’s most dangerous weapon.

Another name that came up in McGee’s spotlight was wide receiver Noah Thomas, whom he called a “matchup nightmare.”

Thomas made big plays in limited opportunities last season, and his size-speed combination could give him a breakout campaign, especially with fellow receivers like Moose Muhammad III and Evan Stewart gone or facing uncertainty.

While most eyes are on the offense, McGee emphasized that the real difference-maker could be the defense.

“Elko’s a defensive genius,” McGee said. “Watch out for guys like linebacker Taurean York and edge rusher LT Overton — they’re going to be the anchors of a ferocious unit.”

York, just a sophomore, already played a crucial role as a freshman, but McGee believes his instincts and leadership will make him a household name by season’s end. Overton, once a top recruit, has shown flashes of dominance and is now expected to emerge as a full-fledged star with Elko back at the defensive helm.

The response from Texas A&M supporters was immediate and passionate. Social media lit up with excitement, with fans echoing McGee’s predictions and sharing their own hot takes.

Others took it a step further, predicting an SEC West title or even a College Football Playoff appearance under Elko’s leadership.

Texas A&M enters the fall with a renewed sense of purpose. After the Jimbo Fisher era ended in disappointment and inconsistency, the hiring of Mike Elko — the architect of the Aggies’ dominant 2021 defense — has reenergized the program. McGee believes the blend of young talent, better coaching, and locker room culture could be the perfect storm for a breakthrough season.

Whether McGee’s predictions prove true remains to be seen, but there’s no denying the momentum building in College Station. With rising stars on both sides of the ball and a respected new leader at the helm, the Aggies could be on the verge of something special.
