Marcel Reed to Return to Texas A&M, Bypass 2026 NFL Draft

The announcement on Robert Griffin III's podcast provides roster certainty heading into the College Football Playoff.

Overview

Reed confirmed his decision by saying "I'm coming back" on RGIII's Outta Pocket podcast, which Griffin also posted on X.
Texas A&M is 11-1, the No. 7 seed in the CFP, and set to face No. 10 Miami on Dec. 20 in the first round.
He retains two years of NCAA eligibility, keeping open the option to play for the Aggies through the 2027 season.
This season he accounted for 25 passing touchdowns and six rushing scores, and he left the rivalry loss to Texas with a first-quarter injury.
A reported $2.1 million NIL valuation and interest from NFL scouts had positioned early entry as a possibility before his return decision.
