Kellen Mond QB, Texas A&M
Texas A&M quarterback Kellen Mond has come a long way since the true freshman was thrown into the fire at UCLA and completed 3 of 17 passes for 27 yards as the Bruins rallied from a 34-point deficit to beat the Aggies 4544 in the season opener.
Mond — forced to play at UCLA because of starter Nick Starkel’s season-ending ankle injury — has made significant progress going into Texas A&M’s game at Florida on Saturday night. He is 4-1 as the Aggies’ starter.
Playing No. 1 Alabama last week, Mond completed 19 of 29 passes for 237 yards.
He has completed 88 of 155 passes (56.8 percent) for 1,045 yards and 7 touchdowns, and rushed 53 times for 266 yards and 2 touchdowns.
