Texas A&M added another quarterback to its 2025 roster with the addition of Jacob Zeno, who announced on Tuesday that he will transfer to the Aggies from UAB.

A four-star recruit out of San Antonio in 2019, the 6-foot-4 Zeno spent his first three years at Baylor before transferring to UAB, where he threw for 3,126 yards, 20 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 2023 while rushing for another four scores.

However, he appeared in only four games this season, passing for 819 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions before suffering a season-ending injury to his non-throwing shoulder.

Zeno took a visit to Texas A&M on Monday, according to On3.com.

Redshirt freshman Marcel Reed has taken over the starting job and is currently projected to retain it next season with Conner Weigman and Jaylen Henderson entering the transfer portal.

The Aggies will play Southern California in the Las Vegas Bowl on Dec. 27.
