Texas A&M's Marcel Reed Receives Praise from Former QB Kellen Mond

Texas A&M Aggies quarterback Marcel Reed is drawing attention as he prepares for the upcoming season, with teammates like running back Rueben Owens noting the need for Reed to build his confidence as a passer. Despite a mixed performance in 2024, where he achieved notable rushing success alongside his passing, Reed has shown potential that has garnered praise from former quarterback Kellen Mond. Mond highlighted Reed's improved technical skills and emphasized the importance of the offensive system adapting to leverage Reed’s strengths. Observers have noted Reed's athleticism and quicker release, which could enhance his effectiveness on the field. The Aggies will kick off their season on August 30 against UTSA, with high hopes for Reed’s development as a dual-threat quarterback. Overall, the team's quarterback situation appears to be stabilizing after years of inconsistency following Mond's departure in 2020.
