Dan Mozes

Football

Dan Mozes, a four-year starter from 2003-06, was one of the best offensive linemen ever at WVU and helped lead the Mountaineers to one of the greatest periods in WVU football history.

A native of Washington, Pennsylvania, Mozes was one of the main cogs of an offensive line that led WVU to a 38-12 overall record, 22-5 mark in the Big East, three conference championships, four bowl appearances, including the first BCS bowl appearance and win in the school’s history (38-35 win over Georgia in the Sugar Bowl).

As a senior in 2006, Mozes won the Rimington Trophy, signifying the nation’s best center, and became the first player in school history to win a national player of the year honor. He earned consensus All-America honors, one of 11 Mountaineers in school history to do so. Mozes earned All-America first team honors from the AFCA, FWAA, Walter Camp, Sporting News, AP, ESPN, Rivals and Scout. He was one of 12 Lombardi Award semifinalists and an Outland Trophy finalist.
