College Station, Texas – Texas A&M Running Back Le’Veon Moss to Miss Significant Time with Ankle Injury
Texas A&M running back Le’Veon Moss will be sidelined for a substantial period due to an ankle injury sustained during a game against Florida. Head coach Mike Elko confirmed the news on Monday, shortly after the Aggies secured a victory over the Gators.
The injury occurred on Saturday, October 11, 2025, during the first half of an exciting matchup. Up until that point, Moss had demonstrated his prowess on the field, racking up 46 rushing yards and scoring one touchdown on five attempts. Unfortunately, the incident took a turn for the worse when Moss collided with a Florida defender, resulting in his left ankle buckling during the tackle.
After the injury, Moss walked off the field with the help of trainers and did not return to the game. Although Coach Elko mentioned that the injury is not season-ending, he indicated that Moss would be out for what he described as a “significant amount of time.”
Le’Veon Moss has been a vital asset for the Aggies this season, leading the team with 70 carries for 389 rushing yards and six touchdowns. This latest setback marks a challenging period for the running back, who previously faced injury issues last season that caused him to miss the final four games due to a knee injury.
In light of Moss’s absence, sophomore Rueben Owens II is anticipated to take on a larger role as the primary ball carrier for the Aggies. So far this season, Owens has rushed for 327 yards and has contributed one touchdown, which suggests he can help fill the void left by Moss. The Aggies are currently ranked sixth in the SEC in terms of rushing offense and will rely on other running backs such as Amari Daniels and Jamarion Morrow to enhance their running game while Moss is recovering.
As of now, Texas A&M boasts an impressive record of 6-0 and is ranked fourth in the AP Poll. The Aggies are looking ahead to their next matchup against Arkansas on the road on October 18, 2025. Head coach Mike Elko and the team are hopeful that they can maintain their momentum despite the loss of one of their key players.
