LEXINGTON, Ky. (FOX 56) — Kentucky shortstop Tyler Bell has been named to the SEC All-Freshman Team, which was announced by the league office on Tuesday. He is the 11th All-Freshman Team selection in program history. Bell is the only Bat Cat this season to bat over .300 in conference play at .318 and leads the team in doubles, home runs, RBI, and slugging percentage.

'He's a lot closer': Texas A&M OC Collin Klein details star running back's road back
'He's a lot closer': Texas A&M OC Collin Klein details star running back's road back Texas A&M's 2025 running back room is one of the roster's predominant strengths and is already showing its impact during the spring practice period. This offseason, the return of Le'Veon Moss from his season-ending injury was the first headline, while Rueben Owens's getting back to full strength after missing all but two games last season is equally important. Owen's prolific high school career was one of the many reasons he earned his five-star status in the 2023 recruiting class. After rushing for 385 yards and three touchdowns while making the 2023 SEC All-Freshman Team, Owens is determined to get back to his elite form, and offensive coordinator Collin Klein is in his corner. During Wednesday's press conference, Klein and defensive coordinator Jay Bateman spoke to the local media, discussing both sides of the ball from various perspectives. Regarding Owens, Klein is confident that the redshirt sophomore will be 100% healthy by the fall but is still working his way back, showing flashes on the practice field. "He's a lot closer. There are flashes of what I know he can be and what he knows he can be. He's still battling a little bit. I'm not worried about him at all. I expect him to be a big difference-maker." Owens is the most talented back on the roster despite Le'Veon Moss's breakout season. He is also the best-receiving back. Moss was woefully missed in last season's opening-season loss to Notre Dame, as the offense had to rely on Moss to lead the team in his absence. Consistent health is Owens' only obstacle, and I can promise you that head coach Mike Elko will keep him in bubble wrap during the summer to prevent any further strain.

Texas A&M running back details his journey back from injury during spring press conference
Texas A&M running back details his journey back from injury during spring press conference Injuries are an unavoidable aspect of sports, particularly in football, one of the most physical games on the planet. Unfortunately, Texas A&M Aggies running back Rueben Owens faced a major setback at the beginning of the 2024 season when a foot injury sidelined him for most of the year. Heading into spring 2024, Owens was slated as the starting running back after an impressive freshman campaign where he earned SEC All-Freshman Team honors. His standout performance included amassing 743 total yards, which led all freshmen in the SEC and highlighted his bright future. However, disaster struck during the first scrimmage of fall camp, as the former five-star prospect sustained an injury that kept him out until Week 14. Despite limited action upon his return, his determination and resilience were evident. As the Aggies prepare for the 2025 football season, Rueben Owens is back in action and determined to showcase his talent. Having recovered from his injury, he has spoken openly about the challenges of his recovery and his journey back to full strength. Owens on how he dealt with missing nearly every game during the 2024 season "It really hurt because I felt like I was having a good fall camp and was going to have a big sophomore year." "I just had to get through it and get to work immediately so I could get back as fast as I could." Rueben Owens on learning from running back Le'Veon Moss "Seeing Le'Veon (Moss) and basically learning. You learn a lot from the sideline. I know a lot more now that I didn't know then." Owens on his message to Le'Veon Moss after his injury mid-season "It's football. Injuries happen. He got right after it, too. ... You just have to have a strong mind to get through it, and you'll be good." Owens explained how he felt at the end of the season and where he is now "Towards the bowl game, I felt alright, but I wasn't 100 percent." "Now, I feel a lot better. It still has a little pain to it, but nothing I can't get through during the spring." Owens has gained strength this offseason, which will help his running style "I got way stronger. It'll help me break tackles more, run harder." Contact/Follow us @AggiesWire on X and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Texas A&M news, notes and opinions.
