Texas A&M QB Marcel Reed Sends Warning Shot to Texas: ‘Gonna Have to Pay’
Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed sent a warning shot to Texas regarding their college football matchup later this season.
The Texas A&M Aggies are set to conclude their 2026 collegiate football season with a showdown against their fierce in-state rivals, the Texas Longhorns, on November 27th. Texas has emerged victorious in each of the past two matchups between the two squads, dating back to the 2024 rivalry resurgence. Throughout those defeats, Marcel Reed has been the quarterback for the Aggies.
Although Reed has yet to secure a win against Texas, he eagerly anticipates the Longhorns' upcoming visit to College Station later this year. Reed candidly expressed his disdain for the Texas program, stating, "We don’t like Texas. I don’t like Texas. It sucks that we’ve lost to them twice." He further emphasized his intent to confront the Longhorns, saying, "But, they're coming here this year, so they're gonna have to pay.
I've got something for them, for sure." Reed's aversion extends to the Texas football team's signature burnt orange color, which he finds visually displeasing, remarking, "The colors just look so ugly. Everywhere you go [in Austin], you see that color orange. Burnt orange? Who likes burnt orange? Texas, it’s the rival, bro. You gotta hate them."
Reed and the Aggies finished 2025 with an 11-0 record before succumbing to Texas in their final game of the season. They subsequently lost to the Miami Hurricanes in the initial round of the College Football Playoff. The 2026 season for Texas A&M kicks off with a home game against Missouri State on Saturday.
