News Splash!!! Quarterback Clash: Marcel Reed and Jacob Zeno Battle for Texas A&M’s Starting Job in 2025
The 2025 college football season is heating up early in College Station as the Texas A&M Aggies find themselves in the middle of a thrilling quarterback battle. Marcel Reed and Jacob Zeno, two talented and hungry signal-callers, are locked in a fierce competition for the coveted starting role under new head coach Mike Elko. As summer workouts begin and fall camp looms, all eyes are on who will emerge as QB1 for a program looking to rebound and contend in the newly realigned SEC.
Marcel Reed, the redshirt freshman with a high ceiling and flashy dual-threat ability, has caught the attention of Aggie fans and coaches alike. A former four-star recruit out of Nashville, Reed’s athleticism and dynamic playmaking ability make him a tantalizing option for an offense that’s seeking a spark. With one year of development under his belt, Reed appears poised to take a leap forward—his mobility and ability to extend plays are reminiscent of some of college football’s recent elite quarterbacks.
But standing in his way is Jacob Zeno, the experienced and composed gunslinger who transferred from UAB after a productive season in 2024. Zeno brings maturity, leadership, and a deep knowledge of the game. He’s not flashy, but he’s efficient. Last season, Zeno threw for over 3,000 yards and 22 touchdowns, showcasing his ability to read defenses and manage the pocket. His decision to transfer to Texas A&M signals a belief that he can win this battle—and lead the Aggies back to relevance.
This quarterback duel is more than just a competition—it’s a defining moment for Texas A&M’s identity in 2025. Will Elko roll the dice on the electric but unproven Reed, or go with the steady hand of Zeno? One thing’s for sure: the 12th Man will be watching closely. Stay tuned—this QB clash is just getting started.
