Texas A&M struggles amid questions about quarterback Marcel Reed's performance
Summary

Texas A&M's 2026 season faces turmoil after a 27-6 loss to No. 14 Missouri, dropping the Aggies to 3-3 overall and 1-3 in SEC play. Redshirt junior quarterback Marcel Reed's performance has come under scrutiny, as he recorded 126 passing yards, two interceptions, and an average of 4.1 yards per completion. Despite Elko's commitment to keeping Reed as the starter, other options, including backup Brady Hart and freshman Helaman Casuga, are being considered due to Reed's inconsistent play and the team's unlikelihood of returning to playoff contention. Texas A&M is set to host The Citadel next weekend, an opportunity for potential change at the quarterback position.
