Brent Moss
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brent Moss (born January 30, 1972 in Racine, Wisconsin) is a former American football running back for the University of Wisconsin Badgers from 1991-1994. In the 1993 season he led the Badgers to a Big Ten Conference title and their first Rose Bowl berth since 1963. The Badgers defeated the #13 UCLA Bruins 21-16 to claim their first ever Rose Bowl victory. Moss was a big part of the win, rushing for 158 yards and two touchdowns in route to being honored the game's MVP. He was also voted the Big Ten's most valuable player that year.
On November 4, 1994 Moss was arrested with possession of 0.4 grams of crack cocaine. He was suspended from the football team and sentenced to two years probation. Although not drafted the following year, he was invited to the Miami Dolphins training camp. After soon being cut, Moss then signed with the St. Louis Rams and in the 1995 season he accumulated 90 yards on 22 carries. This was his only playing time in the NFL, which was followed by brief stints in the World League, Arena Football League, and XFL.
Moss has battled the law numerous times since leaving the Badgers and many believe his legal issues prevented him from becoming a successful professional.
