Le’Veon Moss hasn’t made an appearance for Texas A&M since Oct. 11 against Florida. That might change in the first round of the College Football Playoff against Miami.
Moss was on the practice field in College Station on Tuesday, with the Aggies gearing up to face the Hurricanes at Kyle Field at noon on Saturday. The winner plays second-seeded Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl semifinal on Dec. 31.
Needless to say, the Aggies are hoping to have their top running back on the field as they embark on their first-ever Playoff appearance, with offensive coordinator Collin Klein — who takes the reins at Kansas State at season’s end — calling Moss a “sledgehammer.”
“It’s probably a little unfair, just because our running back room, we’ve been able to run the ball through the course of the season, even since he got hurt, at a really, really high clip. So, obviously, really excited about him,” Klein said, according to KBTX-TV’s Travis L. Brown. “Happy for him to be able to finish this season and be able to get back out there on the field and want him to finish strong. And obviously, he’s a difference-maker with the ball in his hands.”
Moss accumulated 70 carries, 389 yards, and six touchdowns in six games in 2025. But a leg injury against Florida means he’s been sidelined up until this point.
Rueben Owens Jr. has taken over as the Aggies’ lead back, totaling 112 carries for 618 yards and five touchdowns.
