A five-star recruit from the class of 2023 suffered a Lisfranc fracture before his sophomore season even started. A fall camp scrimmage ultimately left Rueben Owens sidelined for the majority of the 2024 season.
Owens finally saw the field again on Week 14 against the Texas Longhorns. He ended his short-lived sophomore season with 16 carries for 66 yards. Thirteen of his rushes for 56 yards came from the Las Vegas Bowl against USC.
As a freshman, the running back had 101 carries for 385 yards and three touchdowns. Nearly a year after his fracture, Elko confirmed at Coach's Night that Owens is back to a 100 percent and is ready to redeem a breakout season intended for his sophomore year.

"It's been a long road back to recovery for him," Elko said. "He was a trooper for us last year, going out and battling before he was back to 100 percent."

In Owens' place, rising senior Le'Veon Moss took the reigns in the back field. However, his season also ended prematurely as Moss played in nine games before suffering a season-ending knee injury.
Before going out, though, the running back totaled 765 yards and 10 touchdowns over 121 carries. He also tallied 10 receptions for 141 yards in his junior year.
While he remained sidelined for the 2025 spring practices, Elko said that Moss is on track to return in the fall.

"It's great to have [Moss] back and healthy. He looks awesome," Elko said. "He has done an unbelievable job of rehab to get himself in position where he's running full-speed right now."

Georgia Tech breaks student season ticket sales record for Yellow Jackets football home games
Georgia Tech students have set a new record by purchasing 6,164 student season tickets for the 2025 Yellow Jackets football home games, surpassing last year's record of 5,939 tickets. The unprecedented demand for student season tickets has left fewer than 900 tickets available in the south student sections of Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field. Georgia Tech athletics expects to reach a sellout of the 7,000-ticket allotment soon and is exploring ways to accommodate additional student demand. Georgia Tech's football team has had consecutive winning seasons for the first time in a decade, which may be driving the increased demand. The team returns five all-ACC honorees, including all-America offensive lineman Keylan Rutledge. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Other key players returning for the 2025 season include all-ACC selections defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg, linebacker Kyle Efford, running back Jamal Haynes, and wide receiver Malik Rutherford. The team is also bolstered by two of the league's top quarterbacks, senior Haynes King and redshirt freshman Aaron Philo. The Yellow Jackets will kick off their 2025 season on August 29 at Colorado, with their home opener against Gardner-Webb scheduled for September 6. The highly anticipated ACC opener against Clemson will follow on September 13.
