Breaking: Haynes King named starting quarterback for Texas A&M

The wait is over. A long battle at quarterback between Haynes King and Max Johnson ended Saturday afternoon when JImbo Fisher named King the starter for Texas A&M entering the opener of the 2022 season a week from today at home against Sam Houston. King, a state champion at Longview High School under the direction of his dad, was the starter to begin the 2021 season, as well, but only played in two games before a season-ending injury to his ankle. 

He threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns on 21 of 33 passing in his first career start, which was a 41-10 win over Kent State. He was injured the following week in the first quarter of a game against Colorado.
