Moseley attended and played high school football at James B. Dudley High School, where he played basketball and was a two-way starter at quarterback and cornerback in football.[1] As a senior, Moseley passed for 1,370 yards, rushed for 1,443 yards and accounted for 47 total touchdowns at quarterback and recorded 28 tackles and four interceptions on defense as the Panthers went 15–0 and won the Class 4A State Title.[2] Initially rated as a two-star recruit, originally Moseley committed to play college football at Charlotte in the summer going into his senior year. He changed his commitment to the University of Tennessee following an offer from the school in September of his senior year.[3]

Moseley played four seasons for the Volunteers, appearing in 51 games and starting 31.[4] He served mostly as a reserve defensive back during his freshman season, playing in all 13 of Tennessee's games with two starts and making 18 tackles (two for loss) and finishing second on the team with six pass breakups. Moseley became a starter during his sophomore year, leading the team with 11 passes broken up with 27 tackles and picking off a pass in the 2016 Outback Bowl for the first interception of his career.[5] As a junior, Moseley was the Vols fifth-leading tackler with 57 (3.5 for loss) while breaking up six passes. He recorded 38 tackles, two tackles for loss, seven pass breakups and an interception as a senior.[6] Over the course of his collegiate career, Moseley accumulated 142 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss with 31 pass deflections and two interceptions.[7]

2018 season

edit

Although originally projected to be a late-round pick in the 2018 NFL draft, Moseley went unselected. He signed with the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent on April 28, 2018.[6]

On September 2, Moseley was cut by the 49ers at the end of the preseason, and subsequently re-signed to the team's practice squad. On October 19, San Francisco increased Moseley's contract from $7,600 per week to $28,235, after another team was rumored to be interested in signing him.[9][10]

Moseley was promoted to the 49ers active roster on November 1. He made his NFL debut the same night in a 34–3 win against the Oakland Raiders, playing three snaps and notching one tackle on special teams.[11] However, he injured his shoulder during the game and was placed on injured reserve the following day.[12]

In the NFC Conference Championship against the Green Bay Packers, Moseley intercepted a pass thrown by Aaron Rodgers during the 37–20 victory.[15] In Super Bowl LIV, he recorded five tackles and a pass deflection in a 31–20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
