Marblehead’s Miles O’Neill, a freshman quarterback at Texas A&M (8-2), had himself quite a day in the Aggies’ 38-3 win against New Mexico State. A one-sided contest from start to finish, O’Neill was 5-for-6 with 51 yards passing and a touchdown. In the fourth quarter, O’Neill dropped back in the pocket and released a throw from the opponent’s 14-yard line. From there, his pass was zipped into the hands of Ashton Bethel-Roman for O’Neill’s first career touchdown. A star at Piper Field during his Marblehead days, O’Neill led the Magicians to a Division 3 Elite 8 appearance in 2022. (Maria Lysaker - Imagn Images)
