Texas A&M senior OL sends a message to Texas after last season's loss

Texas A&M's offensive line has been one of the best units in the country, mainly due to the returning veterans, which includes senior right guard Ar'maj Reed-Adams, who, aside from starting quarterback Marcel Reed and senior edge Cashius Howell, is one of the more vocal leaders in the locker room, which was on full display during Tuesday's player availability.

After transferring from Kansas last season, Reed-Adams has been nationally praised as one of the best run blockers in the country. In 551 snaps at right guard, the senior has earned an impressive 74.2 run blocking grade per Pro Football Focus, allowing zero sacks and ten pressures, with six of those pressures coming against Notre Dame in Week 3.

Outside of providing context, players who speak the loudest need to back up their words on the field, and Reed-Adams has earned the right to express his personal feelings towards the Texas Longhorns, who the Aggies will face on Black Friday in Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium for the first time since 2010.

Last season, Texas won the first matchup in more than a decade, 17-7 in Kyle Field. While this result was expected, a moment that occurred after the game still has the star guard determined to seek revenge against the Longhorns, who are also desperate for a win to keep their slim CFP hopes alive.

Thanks to GigEm247 beat writer Carter Karels, who captured the moment, Ar'maj Reed-Adams stated that "Cowards do what cowards do," referring to the Longhorns celebrating in the middle of Kyle Field after last season's win. However, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian did tell his players to get off the field, but this moment has continued to fuel the Aggies' revenge-driven mindset.

Still, revenge isn't going to get the job done, and for Texas A&M's offense to put points on the board early, Ree-Adams and the offensive line will need to play at a high level from start to finish.
