He was offered in January following a visit to Central New York for Junior Day. Among the coaches he’s been in touch with include defensive backs coach Nitron Stork and head coach Fran Brown.

Syracuse has had a history of allowing its players to play multiple sports.

Moseley wants to play both sports

The football coaches have let Moseley know that if he chooses Syracuse, he’ll be able to do both.

“(The told me) I will be able to do track and football at Cuse because I am the long jump national champion,” Moseley said.

He said three schools are standing out to him in his recruitment so far.

“Top schools (are) Syracuse, JMU, and LSU (for track only),” Moseley said.

Moseley sets a timeline for a decision

JMU will have the first opportunity to host him on an OV on the weekend of June 3.

After his OVs, Moseley will convene with his family and make a decision. He said he has a timeline sketched out for his announcement.

"I’m thinking I will be committed by the end of the month or early July,” Moseley said.

He’s coming off a season at Providence (RI) La Salle Academy where he finished with 440 yards and seven touchdowns as a receiver, and 10 tackles, six PBUs and three interceptions as a defensive back. He’s being recruited on the defensive side of the ball at SU.
