One of the most exciting players ever to play at MU, Mosely holds the distinction of being the only MU athlete ever to go from walk-on to all-American. A defensive back from 1971-73, Moseley was a daring kick return man. He ranked sixth in the nation in punt returns in 1973, with an average of 16.5 yards per return. For his career, he averaged 13.3 yards - still the school record. A graduate of Columbia's Hickman High School, he still makes his home in Columbia.
