Texas A&M's 2026 college football season begins against Missouri State on September 5. Concerns highlighted by ESPN include starting quarterback Marcel Reed's inconsistency and the need to replace four offensive linemen after a strong 2025 season saw the Aggies finish 11-2. Reed's performance, marked by high interception totals, looms large as he looks to improve under new offensive coordinator Holmon Wiggins. The team has made significant roster changes, adding 17 transfer portal players, including four new expected starters on the offensive line and several transfers for the defensive line, raising questions about their ability to gel quickly before the season starts.
