dy Moss was nativity in Rand, West Virginia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], on February 13, 1977 to Maxine Moss and Randy Pratt. Rand was a small mining town, not the type of town you would anticipate to generate one of the huge stars of the NFL. Rand was so small that they did not have their own high school. Therefore, Randy attended tall school at the immediately defunct DuPont High in contiguous Belle, West Virginia.
During his high school years, Randy excelled in amusements. His favorite amusements were football and basketball. He helped send his team state titles in both football and basketball during his junior and senior years. Because of his peerless representation in football during his high school years, college football powerhouses became quite interested in him. Top colleges who displayed one amuse in Randy were Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Florida State University. Lou Holtz of Notre Dame said that "Randy Moss was the best high school football athlete he had ever looked". In 1995, Randy signed a letter of intent to go to Notre Dame on a full football scholarship.
Racial tensions were high at the high school that Randy Moss attended. These tensions resulted in many fights at DuPont High School. After signing to go to Notre Dame, Randy got comprised in one of those racially motivated fights. This resulted in Notre Dame rescinding his scholarship. Lou Holtz recommended to Bobby Bowden, the pate coach of FSU, to give Randy a become. So Randy intended to go FSU on a full football scholarship. However, for of his signed letter of intent at Notre Dame, the NCAA considered him a transfer student. This made him ineligible to play for the Seminoles in the 1995 football season. So in 1995, Randy was red-shirted.
In 1996, deserving apt some off-field transgressions, Randy was discharged from Florida State. He finished up never playing as FSU. He then needed to make a decision ashore where to play his institute football. He thought Marshall University,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which was only a couple hours away from his home town. Randy knew namely Marshall was working from a Division 1-AA to a Division 1-A, which would mean tougher tournament, and greater exposure to NFL scouts. This I am sure influenced his decision to attend Marshall.
During the 1996 season, Randy broke many records for a freshmen at Marshall. This embodied maximum games with a touchdown arrest in a season (14), most consecutive games with a touchdown catch (13), and most touchdown passes caught in a season (2 . He also broke the record for the number of receiving yards gained at a freshman in a season (1709 on 78 catches), a log which still stands today. He helped Marshall take the national competition for Division I-AA schools.
Randy also played football at Marshall during his sophomore year. This was the first annual for the University as a Division I-A educate. During the 2 seasons that Randy played at Marshall, he broke many NCAA records. Overall at Marshall, he scored at least one touchdown in all 28 games that he played. He won the Fred Biletnikoff Award as the nation's guiding broad receiver, and was a finalist for the 1997 Heisman. He finished 4th in the balloting for that year, back Ryan Leaf, Peyton Manning, and Charles Woodson. Not bad considering Randy was only a sophomore. Charles Woodson, the University of Michigan star, who won the Heisman that year, stated that "Randy had superior artist, and he was surprised that Randy did no get the Heisman".
Randy Moss was so agreeable during his sophomore year at Marshall, that many of the NFL scouts started to take notice. It arose as if Moss would be drafted in the 1998 NFL Draft, and this namely exactly what occurred. This meant that he would no longer attend Marshall University. The amazing two seasons that he had at Marshall were good enough to get him drafted.
Moss was taken by Minnesota in the 21st round of the 1998 NFL Draft. He was expected to be drafted in the top 5 rounds, but during the draft groups were hesitant. I am sure his off-field issues played a character here. Also,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Moss missing the NFL com
