Texas A&M’s 2025 football season is critical for several reasons, starting with second-year head coach Mike Elko’s future with the program, and followed by starting quarterback Marcel Reed’s standing in the depth chart, knowing that he’ll need to improve as a pocket passer to lead the Aggies to the program’s first College Football Playoff berth.
