Rookie Moses matures into talented player - m.JSOnline.com

From article:

Moses was a 220-pound linebacker who terrorized offenses and drew the attention of several NCAA Division I schools. Moses wanted to play for hometown Rutgers, but when the Scarlet Knights were slow to offer, Moses picked Iowa.

"I was 18 years old and thought I had it all figured out," Moses said.

He didn't.

Moses was buried on the bench with the Hawkeyes. He played in just four games as a sophomore and made three tackles. Five underclassmen linebackers were ahead of him.

Moses also was arrested for public intoxication in September 2008 and suspended four games. Late that season, Moses decided Iowa wasn't for him.

"I was just really immature at that point," Moses said. "I was in a tough situation. I was a backup guy and I didn't have the right mind-set.

"But it was all a learning experience and I wouldn't take anything back from it because it made me who I am today."
 
"Moses (6 foot 2, 249 pounds) was an outside linebacker in Iowa's 3-4 scheme. But at Tulane, he became a 4-3 defensive end."

What Iowa team is he talking about???
 
Too bad the kid didn't stick around. He could've been helpful in 2010 when we were starting walkons and true freshman.
 
Always was disappointed that he left. He sounds like a mature, well-adjusted man. Good for him. I love his personal accountability. All too rare.
