Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed landed an exciting NIL deal.

Courtesy of On3's Pete Nakos, Reed signed an endorsement deal with ENG Aviation Group. He joins Quinn Ewers, Jaxson Dart, and Carson Beck as the fourth college football player to sign with a private jet company.

"We're thrilled to welcome Marcel Reed to the ENG family," ENG president Steve Hofmann said. "Marcel is a standout athlete whose determination, discipline, and leadership reflect the very values we live by at ENG—Earned. Never Given."

As part of the partnership, Reed will gain clearance to use ENG jets. He'll also serve as an ambassador for ENG's organ donation transportation efforts.

The sophomore will visit organ donors and recipients at a Houston hospital this summer.

"I'm really excited to team up with ENG Aviation," Reed said. "It's an honor to work with a local Texas company that’s doing something so important—helping save lives through organ donation. Their mission to save lives is something I wanted to join in on, and for us, this isn't just a sponsorship—it's a chance to make a real difference together, and I'm all in."

Reed completed 61.3 percent of his passes last season for 1,864 yards, 15 touchdowns, and six interceptions. The Nashville native also tallied 547 rushing yards and seven touchdowns.

Late last year, Reed announced NIL deals with Fiterman Sports and Hellmann's mayonnaise. He ended his redshirt freshman campaign by accounting for four touchdowns in a Las Vegas Bowl loss to USC.

The 6-foot-2 quarterback returns to an Aggies program that went 8-6 in Mike Elko's first season as head coach. They went 5-3 in SEC play with victories over Florida, LSU, and Missouri.

Via TexAgs, Elko said he's "most excited" about Reed's progression entering the 2025 season.

"His development as a leader and in the passing game is important," Elko said. "He was a great player last year, but you'll see a significantly better version of him this fall."
