BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed was named the Associated Press National Player of the Week after engineering a dramatic second-half rally in the Aggies' win over South Carolina, the AP announced Monday.
Reed posted a career-best 439 passing yards on 22 completions with three touchdowns and added 13 rushing yards to set a career-best 452 total yards. He sparked a 27-point comeback by throwing for 298 yards after halftime and guiding four scoring drives, highlighted by a 99-yard drive in the fourth quarter that pushed A&M ahead 31-30. He was also highly efficient downfield, completing 5-of-6 passes of 15 yards or more for 192 yards.
The Nashville, Tennessee, product became the first A&M quarterback to surpass 400 passing yards since Kellen Mond in 2018. His 439 yards stand eighth on the program's single-game chart. This season, Reed ranks 14th nationally in total offense at 302.3 yards per game and leads the SEC while sitting sixth in the country in total touchdowns with 28, including 22 through the air and six on the ground.
Texas A&M hosts Samford on Nov. 22 at 11 a.m. on SEC Network+ for its regular-season home finale.
