Despite a disappointing loss to state rival Texas in the regular season finale, Texas A&M finished the year with 11 wins and clinched a spot in the College Football Playoff.
In less than two weeks, Texas A&M will host the Miami Hurricanes in a first-round playoff game.
Aggies star quarterback Marcel Reed threw for 25 touchdowns and just under 3,000 yards during his breakout season. Reed’s production and rise to becoming one of the nation’s best players appears to have indirectly fueled concerns about whether he will consider taking his talents elsewhere following Texas A&M’s playoff run.

During a recent appearance on former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III’s “Outta Pocket with RGIII” podcast, Reed dismissed any notion that he would consider transferring to Miami in favor of a lucrative name, image and likeness (NIL) offer.
“I’d have to talk to my parents,” Reed responded when asked about the possibility of changing uniforms. “That’s a real answer.”

Reed added that he had the opportunity to leave Texas A&M in the past, but remains committed to the Aggies.

“I got offers after my freshman year. I thought this was the best place to be. I don’t think there’s any reason I should leave Texas A&M. I have the job and it’s mine to lose. I don’t think I will, but there’s no reason for me to leave. I have a great organizer, a great coach, great players around me. We have the best stadium in college football… There’s no need for me to leave and go anywhere else.”

The season-ending loss to the Longhorns eliminated Texas A&M from the SEC Championship Game. Instead, Alabama advanced to the annual conference title game in Atlanta, losing 28-7 to Georgia.
