Texas A&M Aggies Are Eyeing 3-Star Recruit Kaeden Johnson To Amplify Quarterback Position<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Though Marcel Reed hasn’t been given the accolades he deserves in SEC rankings, his starting quarterback position for Texas A&M isn’t locked down.<\/p>\n

As for other current Aggies, sophomore Myles O’Neill led his side of the spring game<\/a> to a 19-7 victory. Reed found more success in the passing game than on the ground with 18 completions for 213 yards, but could not generate enough scoring drives.<\/p>\n

Class of 2026 4-star quarterback commit Helaman Casuga will also put pressure on Reed to pull together a well-rounded game under center. As a sophomore, Casuga put up 4,145 passing yards and 34 touchdown completions.<\/p>\n

As the Aggies search for another recruit, a 3-star quarterback out of Missouri City, Texas – also the home of Miami Dolphins’ running back and former Aggie De’Von Achane – has hopped on their radar.<\/p>\n

Class of 2026 quarterback Kaeden Johnson is listed at No. 59 in his position and No. 150 in Texas, according to\u00a0247 Composite<\/a> rankings.\u00a0The 3-star recruit visited Texas A&M on June 12.<\/p>\n

In the 2024 season, he threw for 2,109 yards and 25 touchdown completions with a 60 percent passing rate. He also rushed for 571 yards and six touchdowns.<\/p>\n

For Reed to secure his spot, he needs to improve from the pocket and as a decision-maker. Especially if Johnson commits to Texas A&M, the quarterback competition only heats up down the line.<\/p>\n
