It’s only bigger things from here, stay tuned!”

I’ve had the privilege of covering Cosby-Mosley throughout his entire high school career. He is the ultimate competitor, always finding ways to help his team win.
While he is an amazing football player, Cosby-Mosley is an even better teammate.
Every time I’ve covered him, Cosby-Mosley has been a vocal leader. He is always leading his team throughout warmups, on the field and in the weight room. He even lifts his less experienced teammates up, helping them refine their skills to become better.
I’m truly excited to continue to follow Cosby-Mosley throughout his senior season.
