Risk Flags
5- Injury Concerns
Owens suffered a season-ending injury in 2024 and another mid-season injury in 2025 (South Carolina game, Q4). Back-to-back injury disruptions in consecutive seasons is a meaningful durability red flag for an RB prospect.
- No NFL Home
Owens is still a college player at Texas A&M — he bypassed the 2026 NFL Draft and returns for the 2026 college season. He carries zero current dynasty value and no NFL role until at least 2027.
- College Production
Despite 5-star recruiting pedigree, Owens has posted only 639 rush yards in 2025 (his best season) on a mid-tier SEC team. His major-game splits were poor (21 yards vs Texas, 44 yards vs LSU), raising questions about ceiling vs. elite competition.
- Depth Chart Risk
Owens faces competition at A&M from KJ Edwards and incoming transfer Carsyn Baker. A shared backfield in 2026 limits his showcase opportunity ahead of a critical pre-draft season.
- Offensive Line Flux
Texas A&M is replacing much of its offensive line for 2026, which could suppress Owens' rushing efficiency and limit his stat-line appeal to NFL scouts.
