From Louisiana to Aggieland, Le’Veon Moss shares his journey of family, football and finding home at Texas A&M. Hear how donor support of NIL changed his life, what’s driving his comeback from injury and why he’s hungry to get back on the field for Texas A&M Football in front of the 12th Man.

College Station, TX — In a powerful new feature that has resonated deeply across the Texas A&M community, junior running back Le’Veon Moss opened up about his path from Baton Rouge to College Station, the defining role of family in his life, how NIL donor support changed his future, and what’s fueling his relentless comeback from injury.

Titled From Louisiana to Aggieland, the interview captures the emotional and spiritual side of a player who has battled adversity, stayed grounded, and now stands poised to make a major impact for the Aggies in 2025.

Moss, a former four-star prospect out of Istrouma High School in Baton Rouge, was candid about the influence his family had on his early life and football career. Raised by a strong mother and surrounded by siblings who believed in him long before college coaches did, Moss described how his upbringing shaped his resilience.

“My mom always said, ‘God doesn’t put you through storms without purpose,’” Moss shared. “Every time I thought about quitting, I thought about her working overtime just to get us cleats. That’s why I run the way I do. That’s where my hunger comes from.”

It was that same hunger that led him to Texas A&M — choosing the Aggies over in-state LSU, Auburn, and Florida. His decision, he said, was about more than football — it was about finding a second home.

“When I came to College Station, I felt love. Real love. Not just recruiter talk,” Moss recalled. “It felt like home before it even was.”

The trust built between Moss and the Texas A&M staff — including then-running backs coach Tommie Robinson and now-head coach Mike Elko — laid the foundation for a commitment that would withstand the inevitable ups and downs of a college career.

Since arriving on campus, Moss has shown flashes of greatness — a tough, physical back with elite balance and vision. But a lingering lower body injury in 2024 cut his breakout campaign short, forcing him to the sidelines just as he was gaining national attention.

Now healthy and stronger than ever, Moss says his injury was both a physical setback and a mental reset.

“You realize how fast it can be taken away,” he said. “But I also realized how much I love this game. I’m not done yet — I’m hungrier than I’ve ever been.”

Under the guidance of strength coach Tommy Moffitt and new running backs coach Devon Achane — the Aggie legend turned rising star on the sideline — Moss is training with intensity and purpose. He’s running faster, cutting sharper, and most importantly, learning to trust his body again.

Coaches say Moss could play a pivotal role in the Aggies’ run-heavy offensive attack in 2025, especially behind a veteran offensive line and alongside dual-threat QB Devin Riley. With explosive potential and renewed mental toughness, Moss might just be the breakout star no one sees coming.

In one of the most emotional moments of the interview, Moss spoke directly about the impact of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) support — and how Texas A&M’s robust donor-backed NIL structure literally changed his life.

“Before NIL, I was sending money home from my stipend. I wasn’t living — I was surviving,” Moss said. “Then came the NIL support. I could finally breathe. I helped my mom move into a better place. I bought my little sister her first laptop.”

He credited the 12th Man Foundation and its NIL donors for empowering players like him to focus on football without carrying the burden of financial stress.

“Y’all didn’t just support an athlete. Y’all helped a young man take care of his family. That means everything,” he said, his voice cracking.

For Moss, there’s no place like Kyle Field. And after months of painful rehab and lonely early morning workouts, he’s ready to run in front of the 12th Man again.

“There’s nothing like it. When they’re yelling your name, when you feel that ground shake under your cleats — you know why you came here. And I promise, when I step back on that field this fall, I’m leaving it all out there.”

With Texas A&M entering 2025 as a top-15 team and dark horse playoff contender, Moss’s return could be the emotional and physical boost that elevates the entire backfield

Moss closed the feature by speaking directly to Texas A&M fans and future recruits.

“I could’ve gone anywhere. But I found my home right here. Through the pain. Through the rehab. Through it all — y’all never gave up on me. So I’m not giving up on y’all.”

As he prepares to write the next chapter of his journey, Moss isn’t just running toward touchdowns. He’s running for family, for faith, and for everyone who believed in him before the lights came on.

With fall camp approaching, Moss is expected to be full-go and in competition for RB1 status. He’ll split reps with fellow returner Rueben Owens and promising transfer Tyree Sapp, giving the Aggies a deep and dangerous backfield.

But if this interview proved anything, it’s that Le’Veon Moss brings more than just carries and yards — he brings heart, gratitude, and a relentless desire to give everything he has to the team that gave him a second chance.
