Texas A&M’s backfield is still taking shape in fall camp, and a familiar name has been floated as a possible answer if the Aggies want more experience in the room.
Former Texas A&M running back Le'Veon Moss was recently mentioned by On3’s Pete Nakos as a player who could return to college football after the recent court ruling that granted 2022 recruits another year of eligibility. Moss signed an undrafted deal with the Miami Dolphins earlier this offseason, then announced his retirement from football shortly after. That decision, though, does not appear to be final.
For Texas A&M, the fit is easy to understand. The Aggies are heading into the 2026 season with some uncertainty at running back, even with plenty of veterans back on the roster.
Rueben Owen II, Jamarion Morrow and KJ Edwards are among the players expected to handle the load, but the group still has questions attached to it. Moss, with his experience, would bring something different.
There are bigger issues, though, and they go well beyond football. Moss was arrested in Baton Rouge last month on charges of cruelty to a juvenile, according to reports from WBRZ News, after his 2-year-old son accidently shot himself after getting ahold of Moss' firearm. If Moss were to seriously pursue a return to College Station, that legal situation could affect whether it happens at all.
Even if Moss decided he wanted back in, the Aggies would still have to want him, and the fit would have to make sense on both sides. Then there’s the roster math.
Texas A&M would need an opening, and one has already appeared after wide receiver Jonah Wilson was removed from the team’s fall camp roster. Wilson, a transfer from Houston last offseason, no longer appears on Texas A&M’s online roster.
That doesn’t mean Moss is on the way back. It does mean the Aggies have a spot available if they choose to use it on him or another 2022 recruit.
Texas A&M has also seen a rival make this kind of move already. Texas brought back offensive lineman Cole Hutson in the middle of fall camp. Hutson, a 2022 recruit, was among the players who sued the NCAA for another year of eligibility.
So the door is not shut. It’s only cracked open for now, but Texas A&M at least knows the path exists if it decides to explore it.

Texas A&Ms First 9-Game SEC Grind Just Took Another Turn
Texas A&Ms move into a nine-game SEC schedule in 2026 adds another layer of difficulty to what was already shaping up as a demanding season. The Aggies will bring back 65% of their 2025 roster, supplement it with 17 transfer portal additions and lean on a 2026 signing class built with the expanded conference grind in mind, all while preparing for a second-half slate that looks especially unforgiving.
One more twist came when Tennessee lost star safety Edrees Farooq to a torn patellar tendon, an injury that will cost him the entire 2026 season. It is the kind of setback that can alter the balance of an SEC schedule before it even begins, and for Texas A&M it only sharpens the importance of navigating the new format with depth, patience and enough roster stability to survive the stretch run.

Former Aggie KC Concepcion Is Already Turning Heads In Cleveland
KC Concepcion is wasting no time making an impression in Cleveland. The former Texas A&M wide receiver, now a 2026 first-round draft pick by the Browns, found the end zone for his first career NFL touchdown in a preseason game against the Chicago Bears and also flashed the kind of versatility that made him such an intriguing prospect in college.
Beyond the score, Concepcion added a 31-yard punt return that showed why the Browns are already leaning into his playmaking ability. For Texas A&M fans, it is another early reminder that his skill set translates beyond one role, and Cleveland will keep looking for more of the same as the preseason moves along. [Read more 🡒]
