Heartbreak for Mountaineer Faithful: Kanye Roberts Faces Season-Ending Injury
The Appalachian State Mountaineers and their fans face a heavy blow as running back Kanye Roberts, poised to be a key leader for the 2025 season, suffered a torn ACL during practice. This devastating injury means Roberts will miss the entire season, including the upcoming match against Charlotte.
Roberts, who had been the shining hope for the Mountaineers’ backfield this year, battled back from a previous injury last season and was ready to build on his impactful performances. Known for his speed, agility, and determination, he had already earned the respect of teammates and coaches alike. His absence leaves a void not only in the lineup but also in the hearts of fans who admired his grit and potential.

Transfers like Rashon Dubinion and Khalida Keith are expected to step up, but it is clear that the Mountaineers’ fight this season will be fueled by the courageous comeback story of their fallen running back.
In this challenging time, the entire community stands with Kanye Roberts, wishing him strength and resilience as he embarks on the difficult road to recovery. The legacy of his dedication and heart will surely inspire the Mountaineers on and off the field in the year to come.
