Texas A&M heads into the 2025 college football season with one of the most stacked running back rooms in the SEC, highlighted by the return of their elite playmaker, Rueben Owens. After a promising 2024 campaign, Owens is expected to take a major leap and anchor the Aggies’ ground attack under new offensive leadership.
Owens, a former five-star recruit, flashed his immense potential last season with a combination of explosive speed, balance, and vision. Now entering his sophomore year, he’s poised to become the focal point of Texas A&M’s offense. With another offseason of development and experience in the SEC under his belt, Owens could emerge as one of the nation’s top backs.
He won’t be alone in the backfield. The Aggies have assembled a deep and talented group of running backs who bring both versatility and depth. Le’Veon Moss returns as a bruising power back, offering a change of pace and short-yardage reliability. Amari Daniels, the veteran of the group, provides leadership and experience, and his ability to catch out of the backfield adds another layer to the offense.
