No. 9 Texas A&M has lost senior defensive tackle Kirby Ennis for the season to a knee injury.

Ennis was injured Sept. 28 against Arkansas. Coach Kevin Sumlin says that Ennis will have surgery to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will miss the remainder of the season.

Ennis appeared in four games this season after being suspended for the opener for violating team rules. He had six tackles.

Ennis started 11 games last season and had a career-high 23 tackles, including two for losses.

The Aggies travel to Mississippi on Saturday.
