The Texas A&M Aggies have commenced their fall camp, looking to improve upon recent seasons and contend for the SEC Championship. Key players Marcel Reed and Le’Veon Moss, both on the Maxwell Award Watchlist, are poised to lead the team. With a focus on enhancing the passing offense and returning healthy players, the Aggies are determined to achieve their aspirations in the upcoming college football season.
College Station, Texas – The Texas A&M Aggies have officially kicked off their fall camp, setting high expectations for the upcoming 2025 college football season. Following a series of eight-win seasons, the team is aiming to compete for the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Championship and secure a coveted spot in the College Football Playoff. With a renewed focus on improvement, the Aggies are prepared to learn from previous challenges as they work toward a more successful campaign.
This season, the Aggies are spotlighting key players like quarterback Marcel Reed and running back Le’Veon Moss, both of whom have been named to the prestigious Maxwell Award Watchlist for 2025. The Maxwell Award is awarded annually to the most outstanding player in college football, a honor that has eluded Texas A&M despite having produced two Heisman Trophy winners, including Johnny Manziel.
Moss had an impressive season last year, finishing with 765 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns, stepping into a starting role due to an injury to teammate Rueben Owens. Despite only playing nine games, Moss was recognized on the second team All-SEC list before suffering a season-ending injury. On the other hand, Reed is preparing for his first full season as the starting quarterback after taking over from Conner Weigman, who transferred to Houston earlier this year. In five games as a starter, Reed showed promise, accruing 1,864 passing yards with 15 touchdowns and six interceptions. He also contributed significantly on the ground, collecting 543 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 116 carries.
The Aggies have not sought to recruit another quarterback, opting instead to build their roster around Reed. Significant players who were sidelined due to injuries last season are returning, including running backs and cornerbacks. Head coach Mike Elko has expressed optimism regarding the team’s health and overall potential for a successful season. Last season, Texas A&M concluded with an 8-5 record, but the team struggled at the end of the season, going 1-4 in their last five games.
In preparations for the upcoming season, the Aggies’ schedule features tough matchups, beginning with the UTSA Road Runners and followed by a challenging game against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The passing offense is anticipated to see marked improvement, aided by the addition of KC Concepcion, a wide receiver from NC State, noted for his exceptional speed and skill. Both Elko and Reed have acknowledged the potential impact of Concepcion on the team’s offensive strategy.
During the offseason, Reed has been actively working on enhancing his skills, including participation in the Manning Passing Academy. Elko emphasized the importance of Reed adding weight to his frame to facilitate better performance as a quarterback as the season approaches. As Texas A&M embarks on this new chapter, the commitment to improvement and a strong roster may set the stage for a more successful season in 2025, as the Aggies strive to achieve the ambitions of their devoted fanbase.
