The stakes are already extremely high for the Texas A&M football team entering this weekend’s top 25 conference matchup but now it’s even gotten personal.
The No. 21 Aggies (4-1, 2-0 SEC) play No. 9 Missouri (4-0, 1-0) on Saturday morning at Kyle Field. For current Aggies starting quarterback, redshirt freshman Marcel Reed, there are family ties on the opposing sideline. His older sister, Briah, is the Tigers assistant director of on campus recruiting.
Mizzou head coach Eli Drinkwitz said Wednesday during an SEC teleconference that Briah is not allowed to go to practice this week besides the first five periods due to a “conflict of interest,” as reported by Carter Karels of 247Sports on X.
In response to Drinkwitz’s proclamation, Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko delivered a witty reply.
“I was hoping maybe she would get out to practice and find some secrets for it,” Elko joked. “No, I’m kidding of course.”
The Aggies host the Tigers at 11 a.m. on ABC.
