Reed, Zuhn garner SEC weekly honors

It was a good weekend.

Texas A&M had a refreshingly dominant 33-20 road win over Florida on Saturday, and the SEC office took notice. When the conference’s weekly awards were announced on Monday, QB Marcel Reed was named Freshman of the Week, while OT Trey Zuhn III was named OL of the Week.

Marcel Reed made his first start at quarterback for Texas A&M, leading the Aggies to a 33-20 win over Florida. Reed completed 11 of 17 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns, with no interceptions. He also added 83 rushing yards and a touchdown on 13 carries, averaging 6.4 yards per carry. Reed showcased his dual-threat capabilities, scrambling for a 31-yard gain on 2nd-and-21 to convert a first down, and later connecting with Moose Muhammad on a 20-yard pass on 3rd-and-10. Reed guided the Aggie offense to scores on their first five possessions before a single punt, demonstrating poise and efficiency in his debut.

Trey Zuhn III anchored the left tackle position for Texas A&M in a dominant offensive display, where the Aggies rushed for 310 yards and did not allow a quarterback sack. Zuhn played every snap on offense, contributing to a second consecutive game with over 300 rushing yards. The offensive line led a 99-yard, 15-play scoring drive late in the second quarter, capped by a 1-yard touchdown rush by quarterback Marcel Reed. Additionally, they orchestrated a 92-yard, nine-play scoring drive—the first time an Aggie offense has achieved two 90-yard scoring drives since facing Texas in 2007. The offense recorded 10 rushes of 10 yards or more and scored on its first five possessions, only punting once the entire game.
