Texas A&M head coach Mike Elkoannounced second-year man Miles O’Neill will be the backup quarterback to Marcel Reed. The depth chart is set.
O’Neill was five-of-six passing for 51 yards and a touchdown as a freshman. But, he’ll be called upon if needed this season.
As a member of the Class of 2024, O’Neill was a four-star recruit out of Marblehead (Mass.) and played football at The Hun School (N.J.), according to the Rivals Industry Ranking. He was the No. 4 overall prospect in New Jersey, the No. 21 quarterback in the class and the No. 283 overall prospect in the class.
O’Neill actually stuck with the program despite a coaching change from Jimbo Fisher to Elko. Now, he’s up on the depth chart.
“When I went on my official visit I felt wanted,” O’Neill said when he committed to Texas A&M in June of 2023. “The coaches kept telling me I was their guy and how much they wanted me. The players and the coaches all have that winning mentality.”
He joined a two quarterback class at the time and Reed was at Texas A&M as part of the Class of 2023. None of that bothered O’Neill when he signed on.
“It doesn’t play a big factor in my decision because I like to compete,” O’Neill said. “There is no problem for me in being a part of a 2 QB class and I can’t wait to get to work.”
