After a solid collegiate career with the Georgia Bulldogs from 2003-05, Moses went on to be selected by the Oakland Raiders as a third-round, 65th-overall pick of the 2007 NFL Draft.

Moses had been serving as an assistant coach at Reinhardt University in Waleska, Georgia, for the past five seasons.
Upon learning about the tragic news of his passing, everyone from the Bulldogs to the Dolphins, soon-to-be NFL Hall of Famer Jason Taylor and Reinhardt sent their heartfelt condolences.
