Texas A&M Aggies’ Marcel Reed staying in school for another year

There never seemed to be much of a question about where Marcel Reed would play football next year, but in this era of multi-million dollar NIL deals, you never can be too sure, so the Texas A&M quarterback put to rest any possible anxiety from Aggies fans.

Griffin’s wife Grete, who co-hosts the podcast with her husband, got directly to the point, asking, “If Miami came today and offered you $4 million, what do you say?”

“I have to talk to my parents,” said Reed, before clearing up that he thinks Texas A&M is the best place for him to be.

Reed said he was offered deals from other schools after his freshman year with the Aggies. On the podcast, which is unclear if it was recorded before Texas A&M offensive coordinator Collin Klein got the head coaching job at Kansas State, Reed said he didn’t  consider those offers then and wouldn’t consider them now.

“I don’t think there’s any reason I need to leave Texas A&M,” Reed said. “I have the job and it’s mine to lose, and I don’t think I will. There’s no reason for me to leave. I think I have a great OC. I have a great coach, I have great players around me. We have the best stadium in college football. The best college town in college football … There’s no need for me to leave and go anywhere else.”

Reed didn’t say how much he makes in NIL currently, but did tell the Griffins, “I don’t live in the dorm, I’ll tell you that,” before revealing he lives in a four-bedroom house with 3 ½ baths.

“It’s pretty nice,” he said.

Reed also cleared up one rumor that has stuck throughout the football season. No, he is not dating Olympic gymnast Suni Lee.
