2014 OL/DL Mosley shocked by offers 

Last summer, 2014 two-way lineman Charles Mosley (Brighton, Tenn./Brighton) arrived in Tuscaloosa, Ala., as an unknown in the recruiting world. But at 6-foot-5, 340 pounds, Mosley would not go undetected for very long competing in various drills in front of the Crimson Tide coaches.

“I went to a camp at Alabama and I was just some big dude that nobody knew about,” Mosley said. “But then one of the coaches came up and said ‘You are kind of nimble for a big dude.’ ”
