He played college football for the Yale Bulldogs football team and was selected by both the United Press and the Newspaper Enterprise Association as an All-American center on the 1942 Yale team.[1] Moseley was captain of the team and also won All-East honors. He was ranked as one of the top 20 players in Yale football history by a committee formed in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Harvard-Yale game. He broke his jaw in his second season but played every game wearing a specially designed harness. He graduated with honors from Yale in 1943.
