Texas A&M coach Mike Elko said Marcel Reed will remain the Aggies' starting quarterback after the No. 23 team fell 35-6 to No. 10 LSU. Asked if Reed could be replaced, Elko replied, "No." TexAgs posted the exchange on X, and Yahoo Sports reported it.

Reed went 10-for-26 against LSU, producing 106 passing yards and one interception. His 38.4% completion rate was identified in the report as a possible career low in college. Through four games this season, he has 738 passing yards, six touchdown passes and four interceptions. He has completed 55.4% of his throws, a career-low figure, while adding 104 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown.

Reed had a stronger 2024 season, throwing for 3,169 yards and 25 touchdowns. Texas A&M is scheduled to face Arkansas in Week 5 on Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. EST. The Razorbacks also enter the matchup with a 2-2 record.
