His school
Randy Moss lines up as a wide receiver for Marshall University. Moss' dream was to play for Notre Dame, Fighting Irish, but also consider going to Ohio State, where his half-brother, Eric, had played offensive tackle. Former Notre Dame head coach Lou Holtz said "Randy Moss was the best high school football player I've ever seen." Flordia State head coach Bobby Bowden said "He was as good as Deion Sanders. Deion's my measureing stick for athletic ability, and this kid was just a bigger Deion.
After originally signing the letter of intent to play college football with Notre Dame in 1995, Moss took part in a racially charged at his high school that left one person hospitalized. Notre Dame subsequently denied his enrollment application, but this did not stop another high-profile college program from giving him a chance.
