Texas A&M freshman WR Jerome Myles expected to miss 2025 season due to injury

Texas A&M freshman wide receiver Jerome Myles is expected to miss the 2025 season due to injury, per On3’s Jaxson Callaway. Myles was the No. 24 overall player and No. 5 wide receiver in the 2025 recruiting cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings.

Myles suffered a season-ending knee injury during his senior season in high school. He missed Texas A&M’s spring practices due to the injury, but had reportedly put on a strong showing this fall.

“Jerome Myles is already turning heads,” TexAgs‘ Billy Luicci said in July. “He’s 225-plus pounds and running among the fastest times by the data out there, 21-22 miles per hour, so he’s really fast for a guy his size, and its turning heads as a wide receiver already.”

Liucci wasn’t the only one who expected Myles to contribute for the Aggies this fall. In the spring, ESPN’s Tom Luginbill and Craig Haubert raved about Myles’ potential.

“Myles is a unique prospect,” they wrote. “There are plenty of tall, big targets who lack great speed and quickness because of their size. Conversely, plenty of undersized receivers have great speed. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound Myles combines both.

“He’s a 50-50 jump ball weapon because of height and wingspan who also has rare speed and acceleration to pose a vertical threat at the same time. His speed is remarkable for his size. He ran a 10.36 100-meter dash, a 4.48 laser-timed 40-yard dash and posted a Max Speed of 20.4 mph. Texas A&M’s wide receiver room is loaded with quality transfers and wide-open competition. Expect Myles to fit right in.”

Although Jerome Myles won’t be suiting up for the Aggies this year, Texas A&M still has an impressive receiving corps. Mario Craver, Terry Busey and KC Concepcion are expected to start for the Aggies.

Fans are particularly excited for NC State transfer Concepcion, who was the 2023 ACC Freshman of the Year. Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed is certainly excited to work with Concepcion.

“He’s one of our top receivers,” Reed said of the junior wideout. “He has a history of being a really good receiver and I’m really excited to play beside him this year – get him the ball and get him some yards.”

On Aug. 30, Texas A&M will kick off its 2025 campaign with a showdown against UTSA at 7 p.m. ET. The game will air live on ESPN.
