Texas A&M QB Marcel Reed Confirms 2026 Return, Will Not Enter 2026 NFL Draft

The choice gives the No. 7 Aggies stability at quarterback before their Dec. 20 College Football Playoff home game versus Miami.

Overview

  • Reed announced his decision on Robert Griffin III’s Outta Pocket podcast, saying, “I’m coming back,” as Griffin first reported.
  • He is a redshirt sophomore with two years of eligibility remaining, giving Texas A&M continuity at the position beyond next season.
  • In 2025, Reed threw for 2,932 yards with 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions and added 466 rushing yards with six scores.
  • Texas A&M enters the CFP at 11-1 as the No. 7 seed and will host No. 10 Miami on Dec. 20 in the first round.
  • His return coincides with OC Collin Klein leaving for the Kansas State head job, as reports note Reed was not projected as a 2026 first-round pick and carries an estimated $2.1 million NIL valuation.
