This devastating injury occurred during BYU's season opener against Utah Tech on Saturday. Moa announced the injury on Instagram, expressing gratitude for his support and reminding himself that football is but a small part of his joy.
He credited his faith, family, and wife as the sources of his happiness. In 11 career games at BYU, Moa has accumulated 53 rushes for 258 yards (4.9 yards per carry) and four touchdowns. This injury marks the second consecutive season where Moa has faced a major health setback; in 2025, he suffered from compartment syndrome, missing 10 games and nearly leading to amputation.
Despite this setback, Moa expressed confidence, stating, "I know that I’m in perfect hands." LJ Martin is the established starting running back for BYU, while Preston Rex, Journee Tonga, and Devaughn Eka will take on the role of running back two (RB2) duties while Moa recovers.
