Fisher names Haynes King starting QB heading into 2021 season

August 25, 2021

Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher announced redshirt freshman quarterback Haynes King will be the starting quarterback when the Aggies open the season on Sept. 4 against Kent State.

Fisher told John Granato and Lance Zierlein of ESPN 97.5 Houston that King won a close competition over sophomore Zach Calzada.

Last season King backed up starter Kellen Mond. He completed 2 of 4 passes for 59 yards. That included a 42-yard touchdown pass to Max Wright against South Carolina.

King, who has great speed, also rushed for 43 yards on six carries.

A four-star prospect out of Longview High School in 2020, King led the Lobos to a state championship in 2018. It was Longview’s first state championship since 1937.

A&M enters the season ranked No. 6 in national polls. The Aggies hope King can lead them to their first national championship since 1939.

Great news is we have 2 solid QBs so if Haynes is having an off day or gets dinged up, Zach can come in without us losing a step.

A lot of gems buried in deep East Texas! Football, country music, barbeque, beautiful Pines, and good hearted people. Haynes is going to kill the competition!

Let's hope so. But I think the over/under of Calzata entering the portal is probably about 3 games (although I sure do hope I'm wrong.)

No reason for him to leave now. He's a play away from being the starter for a national championship contender. I do think he'll enter the portal after the season if he's still on the bench.
