Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed selected as SEC Freshman of the Week
Redshirt freshman quarterback Marcel Reed excelled in his first career start, leading the Texas A&M football team to a 33-20 win at Florida to begin conference action this past weekend.
Reed played so well that he was named the SEC Freshman of the Week on Monday. He was joined by a teammate, junior Trey Zuhn III, who earned SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week.
The Aggies (2-1, 1-0 SEC) led 20-0 at halftime and 33-7 with 5:29 left in the third quarter by throwing Reed into the swamp, where he thrived. Reed completed 11-of-17 attempts for 178 yards and 2 touchdowns. He added 13 carries for 84 yards and 1 tuddy.
The last time that a Texas A&M duo won conference awards in the same week was on Nov. 28, 2022. Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane and current junior QB Conner Weigman brought home the SEC Offensive Player of the Week and freshman accolades, respectively.
While Weigman's career in College Station has been limited due to injuries, Reed’s brilliance may be creating a controversy under center in Aggieland.
