It has been reported by GigEm247 Aggies beat writer Carter Karels that Texas A&M sophomore tight end Donovan Green reportedly tore his ACL (in his knee) during the Aggie’s closed scrimmage on Saturday afternoon, as the news broke late Sunday evening.
Green, who stands at 6-4 and 245 pounds, was set to enter his second full season with the program after recording 22 receptions for 233 yards and two touchdowns during the 2022 season while appearing in 10 games with four starts. This is obviously a tough break for one of the ascending players on the roster, who has already developed an impressive rapport with assumed starting quarterback Conner Weigman.
Looking ahead, the Aggies are relatively equipped to endure such an injury due to their overwhelming depth at the position, starting with senior Max Wright and ending with sophomore Jake Johnson, redshirt freshman Theo Melin Öhrström, and redshirt sophomore Fernando Garza III.
When I messaged Donovan this morning about it, he seemed to be in high spirits.
Praying for a quick recovery, @Donovangreen23 ❤️ https://t.co/M3NbO2tSUA

Donovan Green was ranked as the 5th tight end in the 2022 recruiting class, while Jake Johnson, who was the 3rd-ranked tight end prospect, will now presumably take center stage as the go-to pass catcher at the position outside of what Wright can produce outside of his blocking duties.
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Donovan!
