In a historic and game-changing moment for Texas A&M football, rising quarterback Marcel Reed has officially been recognized as the third youngest player in Texas A&M history to appear on the cover of the iconic College Football video game. The announcement has made waves across the college football landscape, solidifying Reed’s status as not just a future star, but a cultural icon in the making.
At just 18 years old, Reed joins an exclusive club of Aggie legends to be featured on the cover, following in the footsteps of past A&M greats such as Johnny Manziel and Myles Garrett. What makes Reed’s achievement particularly remarkable is the fact that he has been selected over other nationally celebrated young talents, including quarterbacks from powerhouse programs like Georgia, USC, and Ohio State.
The EA Sports College Football 2025 edition is set to release later this year, and Reed’s presence on the cover is being hailed as a testament to his growing popularity, electrifying talent, and the bright future he represents for the Aggies. The cover image features Reed in full Texas A&M gear, mid-throw, with Kyle Field roaring in the background — a symbol of the excitement he brings to the program.
Speaking at the official unveiling, Reed shared his gratitude and disbelief. “To be on the cover of a game I grew up playing is honestly a dream come true,” he said. “I’m not just representing myself, I’m representing my team, my family, and every Aggie out there. It’s an honor I’ll never take for granted.”
Reed’s quick rise to stardom has been one of the most talked-about storylines in college football. After flipping his commitment from Ole Miss and making an immediate impact at Texas A&M, he’s quickly won the respect of coaches, teammates, and fans alike. His poise, dual-threat ability, and leadership have drawn comparisons to some of the greats — and now, his name is etched alongside them in college football gaming history.
Head coach Mike Elko praised the recognition, saying, “Marcel’s work ethic and maturity at such a young age are rare. He’s earned every bit of this.”
With this groundbreaking achievement, Marcel Reed doesn’t just represent the future of Texas A&M football — he’s setting a new standard for what it means to be a young athlete in the NIL era.
History has been made, and Aggieland is proud. Marcel Reed is on the cover — and on the rise. Gig ’Em!
