College Station, Texas – Texas A&M running back Le’Veon Moss is set to miss a significant amount of time due to an ankle injury sustained during the game against Florida on October 11, 2025. Moss, who leads the team in rushing, was injured in the first half of the game and has confirmed that he will be sidelined for an extended period.

Head coach Mike Elko announced the injury on Monday, revealing that the damage to Moss’s ankle occurred when he collided with Florida defensive back Sharif Denson. This caused the left ankle to buckle, resulting in Moss needing assistance from trainers to exit the field and requiring further examination in the locker room.

Prior to the injury, Moss had an impressive game against Florida, tallying 46 yards and one touchdown on just five carries. For the season, he has rushed for 389 yards and scored six touchdowns on 70 attempts. Despite the setback, Elko indicated that the injury will not end Moss’s season, suggesting that he could return later in the year, although the timeline for recovery remains uncertain.

Moss’s injury is distinct from a knee injury he suffered last season, which kept him out of the final four games. This season, Moss was on track to excel, having been the SEC’s leading rusher before his previous injury.

In Moss’s absence, sophomore running back Rueben Owens II is expected to step up as the primary ball carrier. Owens has already demonstrated his capabilities this season, ranking second on the team with 327 rushing yards and scoring one touchdown on 56 carries. Coach Elko noted that Owens is currently hitting his stride and has shown significant improvement in recent games.

Additionally, other running backs, including Amari Daniels and Jamarion Morrow, will be called upon to share the workload as the Aggies continue their season without Moss. The team is currently 6-0 and ranked fourth nationally following their victory over Florida, with an offensive strategy that heavily relies on effective rushing. The Aggies’ rushing offense ranks sixth in the SEC.

Since Moss has started and finished games for Texas A&M, the team’s record stands at an impressive 13-1 over the last two seasons. The Aggies will need to adapt quickly as they prepare for their next game on the road against Arkansas.

In summary, the Texas A&M Aggies will be navigating a challenging period as they work to fill the gap left by their leading rusher, Le’Veon Moss, ensuring the team remains competitive in the ongoing season.
