In a shocking development that has Louisville Cardinals fans holding their breath, reports suggest that standout running back Rueben Owens may be considering a move to Texas A&M. Owens, a former 5-star recruit who initially committed to Louisville, has been a key offensive weapon for the Cardinals. However, whispers of a potential return to his home state of Texas have sparked widespread speculation and concern among the Louisville faithful.
Owens, known for his elite speed, vision, and versatility, has been a game-changer for Louisville since his arrival. The young back has racked up impressive stats, consistently showcasing why he was one of the most coveted recruits in the nation. His ability to impact the game both as a runner and a receiver has made him a cornerstone of Louisville’s offense and a nightmare for opposing defenses.
Texas A&M is no stranger to high-profile recruiting battles, and bringing Owens back to the Lone Star State would be a significant win for head coach Jimbo Fisher. The Aggies have a rich history of producing NFL-caliber running backs and have made no secret of their desire to bolster their offensive backfield. Owens’ familiarity with the state, combined with Texas A&M’s facilities and SEC prestige, could make the Aggies an enticing destination.
The potential departure of Owens has sent shockwaves through Louisville’s fanbase. Many are expressing frustration over the possibility of losing such a talented player to a program like Texas A&M. “Rueben is the heart of our offense,” one fan tweeted. “Losing him would be devastating.”
While nothing has been confirmed, the rumors alone have set off a recruiting frenzy. Owens’ decision could hinge on multiple factors, including NIL opportunities, proximity to family, and the overall trajectory of both programs.
As the situation develops, both Texas A&M and Louisville will be eagerly awaiting Owens’ next move. For now, the Aggies appear to be very much in the mix, keeping Louisville fans on edge as they hope to hold on to their star running back.
