(KBTX) – Le\u2019Veon Moss, who amassed more than 1,700 yards in four seasons with Texas A&M, retired from the NFL less than a month after signing as an undrafted free agent.<\/p>\n

According to a release from the Miami Dolphins<\/a>, the running back was placed on the reserve\/retired list Tuesday. He signed with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent on May 8.<\/p>\n

By placing Moss on the reserve\/retired list, the organization retains Moss\u2019s rights should he decide to return to professional football.<\/p>\n

Moss was an All-SEC running back for the Aggies, with a propensity for power rushing. In four seasons he collected 1,767 yards and 22 touchdowns on 321 rushes, while he averaged 3.66 yards after contact.<\/p>\n

However, his college career was riddled with injuries, limiting him to a high of nine games in a season during his four years. A knee injury suffered during A&M\u2019s trip to South Carolina ended his junior season early. Last year, Moss only played in seven games due to multiple injuries.<\/p>\n

Moss also dealt with anxiety on the field, head coach Mike Elko confirmed while Moss was at A&M. He vomited on the sidelines during multiple games in his college career and needed time to recover.<\/p>\n

Most notably, Moss missed most of A&M\u2019s win over Arkansas in 2024. The back returned in the fourth quarter to help close out the Aggies\u2019 win.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was dealing with a little bit of anxiety, honestly, early on and working through that,\u201d Elko said after that game. \u201cHe got a bruised chin at some point that we needed to kind of calm down a little bit and so he\u2019s good to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Aggies had 10 selections in the 2026 NFL Draft<\/a>, tying the program\u2019s record, set in 1976. It broke the record for most players selected in a seven-round draft. Moss was one of five Aggie players to sign undrafted free agent contracts in the class.<\/p>\n
