College Career
Moss accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where he played for coach Ron Zook and coach Urban Meyer's Florida Gators football teams from 2004 to 2006.
Memorably, Moss blocked two crucial kicks in the fourth quarter of the Gators' 2006 victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks. The first block stopped a Gamecock PAT to keep South Carolina's lead at 16–10. The second was a block of a would-be game-winning field goal for South Carolina with 8 seconds left on the game clock. The second block secured a 17–16 victory for the Gators. He was named a first-team All-American by Pro Football Weekly after the 2006 season.
Moss declared for the 2007 NFL Draft following the Gators' victory in the 2007 BCS National Championship Game.
