Texas A&M running backs face challenges as season approaches
Summary

With less than two weeks until kickoff, Texas A&M's running back situation is taking shape. Rueben Owens II returns as the leading rusher after a strong performance last season amid injuries to teammates. However, A&M lost key players such as Le’Veon Moss, who medically retired, and E.J. Smith, who also has graduated. Freshman Jamarion Morrow and sophomore Tiger Riden are expected to compete for carries alongside new recruits K.J. Edwards and Carsyn Baker, who impressed in training camp. The team looks to solidify its backfield ahead of the upcoming season.
