Iowa football injury update: Kamari Moulton out for the season

The Iowa football program delivered an unfortunate injury update on Tuesday, revealing that running back Kamari Moulton will miss the rest of the season. Head coach Kirk Ferentz confirmed the news during a Tuesday press conference. Moulton suffered an apparent upper body injury during Iowa's Week 9 game against Minnesota, which forced him to leave the field in the second quarter.

The sophomore, standing at 5-foot-9 and weighing 211 pounds, was making a strong comeback after a standout performance just two weeks earlier. In Iowa's 41-24 victory against Washington on October 9, Moulton broke his career-high with 208 rushing yards and added two touchdowns on 26 carries. Despite carrying the ball 86 times for 541 yards and scoring four times, Moulton's season has now come to a premature end.

Throughout his time with the Hawkeyes, Moulton has amassed 1,985 rushing yards on 367 attempts with 14 touchdowns in his career thus far. Prior to this season, he led the team in rushing with 878 yards during the 2025 campaign. Additionally, Moulton contributed as a reliable receiver, catching 26 passes for 140 yards. As the Hawkeyes continue their season, the team will now focus on adapting to Moulton's absence and integrating his absence into their game plan.
