On Instagram on July 2, Reed posted photos from recent Texas A&M media, captioning them with a series of locations: "C-Stat," New York, and Miami. He followed the trio, writing, "Time to write this chapter."
Chancellor Johnson asked Reed what the locations in his caption meant, to which he responded, 'C-Stat, New York, Miami . . . I put them there for a reason."
C-Stat, or College Station, is obviously referring to Aggieland and, for purposes of his caption, the 2025 regular season. Jazz at Lincoln Center's Appel Room in Manhattan is where the Heisman Trophy ceremony takes place — in New York. The CFP national championship game in 2026 will take place at the home of the NFL's Miami Dolphins, Hard Rock Stadium.

The young quarterback has clear intentions for his second season as an Aggie, and that's not only making it to the championship game but winning the Heisman Trophy. At the moment, according to ESPN BET, Texas A&M odds are +3500 to win the CFP title. It's 12th highest odds to win the championship game. As for Reed and his Heisman hopes, he has the 15th highest odds at +4000.
In 2024-25, he had 147 completions out of 240 attempts for 1,864 yards. Reed recorded 15 passing touchdowns and six interceptions as well. The road to the Heisman won't be easy, and he has six SEC quarterbacks to beat according to the odds. First, though, he has to prove himself at College Station. Then he can focus on step two.

LA Sparks' Cameron Brink nears return after 13-month ACL recovery
NEW YORK (AP) — Cameron Brink can see the light at the end of the tunnel. She's been out for 13 months after tearing the ACL in her left knee in a game at Connecticut in June last season. Now she's been cleared to play again and is eager to get back on the court with her Los Angeles Sparks teammates. 'I feel great. I'm super thankful that the Sparks have let me take my time and really feel great coming back,' Brink said to a few reporters after shootaround Saturday. 'I'm excited to be out there with my teammates.' Brink has been working toward playing in a game. After the Sparks finished their pregame shootaround, Brink went to the Barclays Center practice court and got in another 20-minute workout. 'I've put in a lot of hard work. I feel like what people usually see is me living my life normally, but people don't see the hours and hours that I put in the gym with my trainers, amazing training staff," she said. 'I've been working my (behind) off, so I definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel for sure.' Coach Lynne Roberts said that Brink won't play against the Liberty on Saturday night, but expects the 6-foot-4 forward back soon. Three of their next four games are at home after Saturday. 'It's hard to come in midseason, and then you add the mental aspect that every athlete struggles with being out that long,' Roberts said. Brink's been around the team as much as she could over the past year and also found ways to keep herself busy during the long rehab process, starting a podcast and graduating from Stanford. 'It's really tough mental, waking up every day and watching your team from the sideline cheering everyone on. I love cheering on my teammates, but there comes a point where I want to be out there too,' Brink said. 'So, I'm just really happy to be at that point and just thankful for everyone along the way.' Brink said that it's been tough during the long recovery period. She knows it will take time to get back to where she was before she got injured. Before she got hurt, Brink, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, was averaging 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks. 'It's a little nerve-wracking for sure., I'm just really going to try to be patient with myself because I'm definitely not where I was last year,' she said. 'It's still a work in progress, but yeah, just thankful for the fans. Really excited to be able to just go out there and do what I love.' ___ AP WNBA:
