Mike Elko discusses quarterback depth amid Texas A&M struggles
Summary

Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko expressed concerns regarding recruiting quarterback depth amid the team's ongoing offensive struggles. In a recent game against LSU, starter Marcel Reed threw for only 106 yards in a 35-6 loss, raising questions about his performance and depth at the position. Despite the pressure, Elko is committed to Reed as the starting quarterback. He stated that recruiting effectively in the transfer portal has become nearly impossible in the current of college football, though examples exist of successful transfers stepping up under challenging circumstances. The Aggies continue to face issues at quarterback as the season progresses.
