Le’Veon Moss Returns: Texas A&M Star Running Back Ready to Dominate Again, Says Coach Elko
College Station, Texas – Texas A&M’s football program just received a massive boost as head coach Mike Elko officially announced that star running back Le’Veon Moss is fully healthy and ready to return to the field. After a lengthy rehabilitation process following his lower-body injury last season, Moss is back in action and set to reclaim his role as a key offensive weapon for the Aggies.
Moss, who suffered a significant injury against South Carolina during the 2024 season, was ruled out for the remainder of the campaign. His absence was deeply felt, as the Aggies struggled to maintain consistency in the rushing attack without their top ball carrier. Now, after months of intense rehab, strength training, and conditioning, the talented junior running back is eager to make up for lost time.
Coach Elko Confirms Moss’ Return
During a press conference on Thursday, Coach Elko spoke highly of Moss’ dedication to his recovery and the impact his return will have on the team.
“Le’Veon has been working incredibly hard behind the scenes to get back to full strength,” Elko said. “Our medical staff has done a fantastic job, and Le’Veon himself has shown a level of commitment that is truly commendable. He’s stronger, faster, and more determined than ever. We’re excited to have him back and ready to go.”
Elko also highlighted how crucial Moss will be for the Aggies’ offensive strategy in the upcoming season. “His vision, power, and ability to break tackles give us a huge advantage in the run game. We’re expecting big things from him, and I know he’s ready to deliver.”
A Long Road to Recovery
For Moss, the journey back to full health was anything but easy. His injury came at a devastating time, as he was beginning to hit his stride as one of the top running backs in the SEC. Despite the setback, Moss remained focused on his rehabilitation, spending countless hours with the team’s trainers, physical therapists, and strength coaches.
Teammates and coaches alike have praised Moss for his perseverance. Quarterback Conner Weigman, who will be leading the Aggies’ offense this season, spoke about the difference Moss makes in the backfield.
“When Le’Veon is on the field, it just changes everything for us,” Weigman said. “He’s got that rare combination of speed and power, and he’s a guy who can take over a game. Seeing the way he’s worked to get back, we’re all excited to have him in the huddle again.”
What Moss Brings to the Aggies Offense
Before his injury, Moss was well on his way to establishing himself as one of the premier running backs in the SEC. In just a handful of games last season, he racked up impressive stats, averaging over five yards per carry and finding the end zone multiple times. His ability to burst through holes, shake off defenders, and extend plays made him a nightmare for opposing defenses.
With his return, Texas A&M’s offense gains a new level of versatility. Not only does Moss bring elite running ability, but his presence will also open up opportunities for the passing game. Defenses will be forced to respect the run, which will create better matchups for receivers and tight ends downfield.
Offensive coordinator Collin Klein is thrilled about what Moss’ return means for the team.
“Le’Veon gives us that explosive playmaker who can change a game in an instant,” Klein said. “He’s a guy who can turn a three-yard gain into a 30-yard run, and that’s the kind of dynamic presence you want in your offense. We’ve got a lot of weapons, but having Le’Veon healthy again just makes us that much more dangerous.”
Moss’ Own Words: “I’m Ready”
Moss himself is eager to get back on the field and prove that he hasn’t lost a step. Speaking to reporters, he expressed gratitude for the support he received during his recovery and excitement about the upcoming season.
“Man, it feels so good to be back,” Moss said with a smile. “Last season didn’t end the way I wanted it to, but I took that time to really focus on my body, my mindset, and getting better in every way possible. Now, I’m ready to go out there and do what I do best.”
When asked about any lingering concerns regarding his injury, Moss was confident.
“I feel 100%. No hesitation, no holding back. I’ve been working with the trainers, running full speed, cutting, doing everything I need to do. I’m back, and I’m coming with something to prove.”
SEC Defenses on Notice
With Moss back in the lineup, the Aggies’ offense becomes an even bigger threat in the SEC. Texas A&M is looking to build on last season’s progress and make a serious push for a conference championship. If Moss can stay healthy and perform at the level he’s capable of, he could be one of the top running backs in the country.
Several SEC coaches have already taken note of his return. One anonymous defensive coordinator admitted that preparing for Moss is no easy task.
“Le’Veon is the kind of back that keeps defensive coordinators up at night,” the coach said. “He’s got great balance, great vision, and he’s tough to bring down. When he gets a full head of steam, good luck stopping him.”
The Road Ahead
Texas A&M will open its season with a highly anticipated matchup against a non-conference opponent before diving into a grueling SEC schedule. With Moss leading the ground attack, the Aggies have a legitimate shot at competing with the best teams in the nation.
The expectations are high, but Moss is embracing the challenge.
“I know what I’m capable of, and I know what this team is capable of,” he said. “We’re coming for it all this year. Simple as that.”
As the countdown to the season begins, Aggies fans have every reason to be excited. With Le’Veon Moss back in action, Texas A&M’s offense just got a whole lot more dangerous.
