Texas A&M sophomore RB is ready to take on his 'bigger role' in 2026
Texas A&M sophomore RB Jamarion Morrow is ready to take on his "bigger role" this season, and praised the Aggies' "exlosive" running back room.
The 16th preseason practice for Texas A&M took place on Tuesday, marking the final media-friendly session before the Aggies kick off their 2026 season against Missouri State on September 5. As third-year coach Mike Elko evaluates potential roster depth, there are numerous questions to address. Quarterback Marcel Reed, who set career highs in passing yards and touchdowns last season, has been working on mechanical and mental issues with new offensive coordinator Holmon Wiggins, QB coach Joey Lynch, and private QB coach Jeff Christensen.
Reed's issues should be addressed if the offensive line, featuring four new starters, unites early in the season. The wide receiver corps, led by junior Mario Craver and others, will aid Reed in matching his 2025 performance. Reuben Owens, who left the team, was replaced by sophomore Jamarion Morrow, who aims to take on a larger role after limited playtime as a freshman.
Morrow, an explosive athlete, expressed his readiness to assume more responsibilities and contribute significantly in each offensive game plan. The running back room, consisting of Owens, Morrow, redshirt freshman Tiger Riden, and freshmen KJ Edwards and Carsyn Baker, boasts diverse skill sets that could be effectively utilized throughout the challenging SEC schedule.
Morrow emphasized the team's explosive talent and their collective ability to make plays, while acknowledging the importance of finding his place in Wiggins' scheme.
