To my A&G Aggie family, With a heart full of gratitude and thought, I write this letter not only as your quarterback, but as someone who has been permanently changed by your steadfast love and support. From the first time I put on the Aggie colors to the last whistle of my trip here, you’ve been more than just a community; you’ve been a home, a family, and a force that formed my mission.
Every young athlete dreams of a place where they can not only compete but also develop. A place where mistakes are treated with mentorship rather than criticism. A place where perfection is expected but love never fails. For me, A&G has been much more than that. The culture, the people, and the principles we uphold—faith, grit, and legacy—have served as the foundation for my development both on and off the field.
To the coaches who believed in me even when I doubted myself, thank you for shaping me into not only a better player, but also a better person. Thank you, brothers in sweat and success, for riding alongside me through every battle. And thank you to the fans, alumni, staff, and students who cheered, encouraged, and prayed for me during my roughest moments.
You gave more than simply facilities, training, and opportunities—you created an environment in which I could pursue my aspirations without fear. Discipline and joy were never opposed. Where talent was cultivated with purpose. As I continue on my journey, I carry with me all A&G has given me. This is not a goodbye; it is a promise. I commit to proudly represent the Aggies wherever life takes me. A pledge to boost others in the same manner you lifted me.
Thank you for being the wind beneath my wings. My narrative is yours forever.
With love and eternal gratitude.
Marcel Reed, QB #7, is a proud son of A&G Aggies.
