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.

Rafael Devers starts at first base and helps Giants beat Braves 9-0 to snap 6-game skid
ATLANTA (AP) — Rafael Devers was error free in his first career start at first base and added two hits and an RBI as the San Francisco Giants snapped a season-worst six-game skid with a 9-0 win over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night. Devers was traded from Boston to the Giants in June after his relationship with management deteriorated less than two years into a 10-year, $313.5 million contract he signed in 2023. The Red Sox signed Gold Glove third baseman Alex Bregman during spring training and asked Devers to move to designated hitter. He balked before agreeing, but when Boston first baseman Triston Casas suffered a season-ending injury, he was approached about playing the position and he declined. San Francisco starter Landen Roupp (7-6) gave up four hits and a walk with six strikeouts in five scoreless innings. The Giants have won five of Roupp's last six starts. Casey Schmitt hit a solo homer off Davis Daniel (0-1) to highlight San Francisco's four-run second inning. Devers doubled to lead off the fifth and scored on a single by Willy Adames to make it 5-0. Devers added an RBI single before Wilmer Flores hit a three-run home run in the seventh. Matt Olson had three hits and Michael Harris II added two for the Braves. Sean Hjelle and Joey Lucchesi each pitched an inning before Carson Seymour worked the eighth and ninth and. Four Giants pitchers combined for 14 strikeouts. Key moment Adames drew a leadoff walk in the second and Chapman followed with an RBI triple and scored on a sacrifice fly by Flores. After Schmitt's homer, Bailey doubled and later scored on a sac fly by Heliot Ramos to give the Giants a 4-0 lead. Key stat Giants manager Bob Melvin has 1,650 career wins, tied with Mike Scioscia for 20th on MLB's all-time list. Buck Showalter is 19th with 1,726 wins. Up next San Francisco RHP Justin Verlander (0-8, 4.99 ERA) is scheduled to pitch Wednesday against Atlanta RHP Spencer Strider (4-7, 3.59) . ___ AP MLB:

Alvarez's homer helps Mets come back to beat Angels again, 3-2
NEW YORK (AP) — Francisco Alvarez hit a tying homer in his second game back from the minors and Ryne Stanek retired Mike Trout with two runners aboard for the final out as the New York Mets rallied to beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 on Tuesday night. Brandon Nimmo capped a three-run fifth inning with a go-ahead single, and Frankie Montas (3-1) won his third straight start. Juan Soto threw out a runner at home plate from right field in the first, denying Trout his 999th career RBI. After overcoming a four-run deficit in Monday night's series opener, New York won its third in a row. Nolan Schanuel had a career-high four hits for the Angels, including an RBI double. Jorge Soler launched a solo homer, and Logan O'Hoppe finished with three hits. Angels starter Kyle Hendricks (5-7) allowed only a pop-fly single through 4 2/3 innings before unraveling as the Mets banged out four consecutive hits. Brett Baty doubled before Alvarez connected for his fourth homer this season and first at Citi Field. Ronny Mauricio singled, stole second and scored on Nimmo's single to give New York a 3-2 lead. Rico Garcia and Reed Garrett combined for 2 1/3 scoreless innings in relief before Stanek worked the ninth for his third save. With star closer Edwin Díaz receiving a rest, Stanek got Trout on a weak popup to first base to end it. Montas settled in after a rocky start and walked off the mound to a warm ovation after 5 2/3 innings. He permitted two runs and eight hits, striking out six. Key moment After a run-scoring double by Schanuel put the Angels ahead 2-0 in the fifth, they had runners at second and third with one out. Montas whiffed Trout, walked cleanup hitter Taylor Ward to load the bases and retired Jo Adell on a deep fly to center, ending the inning. Key stats Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts and is hitless in his last 30 at-bats — the longest drought of his career. He went 0 for 27 late in the 2016 season with Cleveland. ... Soto set a career high with his 13th stolen base. Up next Mets LHP Sean Manaea (0-1, 2.45 ERA) pitches in a Wednesday matinee. Los Angeles had not announced a scheduled starter and might go with a bullpen game. ___ AP MLB:

Cruz Azul trim their squad for AllStars
Cruz Azul initially had five players called up to the All-Star Game against the MLS, but the list underwent changes before the trip to Austin, Texas. Only Kevin Mier and Willer Ditta will be present as representatives of the team at the event. Ignacio Rivero was ruled out due to a rib injury, so he stayed in Mexico to recover and be ready for the club's upcoming commitments. The coaching staff also decided not to include Erik Lira or Rodolfo Rotondi in order to focus on the match against León. The Machine opted to prioritize its preparation for Matchday 3 of the 2025 Apertura and the upcoming debut in the Leagues Cup, where they will face Seattle Sounders, LA Galaxy, and Colorado Rapids. Therefore, adjustments were made to the call-up list. Ángel Sepúlveda was included at the last minute and will join Mier and Ditta as the three Cruz Azul players in the All-Star Game. His presence strengthens the team's representation in the match between Liga MX and the MLS. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
