Thaddeus Moss Places Tide In Top 8
The son of an NFL legend has placed Alabama football in his top eight schools for whom he's interested in playing. Tight end prospect Thaddeus Moss, son of legendary seven-time pro bowler and four-time NFL first-team All-Pro Randy Moss, has recently released his top eight schools of choice. The Alabama Crimson Tide is one of those eight. The other seven are Georgia, Miami, North Carolina State, Arizona State, UCLA, West Virginia, and Oregon.
Alabama football coaches are still looking at taking a third tight end in the 2016 class. Already the Tide has commitments from two. They are Miller Forristall of Cartersville, Georgia and Brendan Scales of Ballwin, Missouri. Could Moss be that third?
Moss, a three-star tight end out of Mallard Creek High School in Charlotte, North Carolina, received his offer from Bama back on May 22nd, but is now narrowing his prospective schools.
The 6' 3", 240-pounder is listed as the number 20 tight end in the country according to 247Sports Composite.
