Watch Texas A&M's starting QB show off his arm strengh this offseason
Texas A&M's 2025 football season will be determined by how the Aggie offense performs behind starting quarterback Marcel Reed, who enters his first full season as the starter after last season's QB carousel with Conner Weigman.
After working hard this offseason leading to the 2025 Maroon & White spring game, Reed still has a way to go as a passer, but showed improvement in the pocket, delivering several impressive throws during the game, while his enhanced wide receiver room, led by transfer KC Concepcion, showed off their separation skills, as the room is much faster compared to last season.

For those who feel Reed does not possess the arm strength to become a reliable passer who can be the reason the Aggies win games when a balanced offense can't be achieved, Reed's Father, Rod Reed, posted a video of his son working out this month, showing off said arm strength and accuracy on the process.
When judging a quarterback at the Power 5 level, completing the deep pass, especially connecting on post routes in the middle of the field, is vital to success, but in OC Collin Klein's system, short and intermediate passes to slowly and methodically move the ball down the field is the key to a balanced offense, as the Aggies' run game is expected to keep Marcel Reed to having to win multiple games with his arm.
While Reed's ability to make plays with his legs will continue to be a big part of the Aggie offense, having more weapons in the passing game, which also includes former Alabama/Texas tight end Amari Niblack will surely help get things rolling early. Last season, Marcel Reed threw for 1,864 yards, 15 touchdowns, and six interceptions.
