Haynes King named starting quarterback for Texas A&M Aggies football, sources say

Haynes King has won Texas A&M's starting quarterback job, sources told ESPN.

King, a 6-3, 205-pound redshirt sophomore, started the first two games a year ago before suffering a season-ending injury when he broke his right tibia in the first quarter against Colorado in Week 2.

TexAgs.com was the first to report the news that King would be the Aggies' starting quarterback.

King had been battling with LSU transfer Max Johnson and true freshman Conner Weigman for the starting job this preseason. Prior to his injury a year ago, King passed for 292 yards and two touchdowns in the season-opening win over Kent State.
