Texas A&M trio selected for Earl Campbell Rose Award watchlist
Marcel Reed, Rueben Owens II and Terry Bussey were named to the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award watchlist as Texas A&M prepares for the 2026 season.
Texas A&M will begin the 2026 football season with three players named to the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award preseason watchlist - quarterback Marcel Reed, running back Rueben Owens II, and wide receiver Terry Bussey. Coach Mike Elko will be relying on several reliable veterans to maintain the program's championship level as 10 starters were drafted in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Reed, a dual-threat quarterback who has been in the running for the award, returns to the lineup after a strong campaign last season. Owens enters the year as a key back and is expected to compete for the starting position, while Bussey has made a significant impact on special teams and showed growth in his receiving role. Only one of the trio will ultimately receive the Rose Award, but all three are expected to play pivotal roles in shaping A&M's 2026 season.
