QUOTE
“His story is just like crazy. It’s what college sports is about, his story, coming in as a zero-star [recruit]. I remember me telling Moses freshman year, ‘If you work hard, you’re going to grow. If you’re in the gym, you can change your life.’”

-Georgia Tech teammate Jose Alvarado, to The News & Observer
