Darryan Moss is going to be the next great prospect to come out of the state of Oklahoma. The three-star linebacker is one of the standouts on the Broken Arrow defense that only allowed 20.8 points a game last year helping lead his team to a trip to the state semifinals. The 6’2”, 225-pound, tackle machine racked up 95 total stops including six for a loss, two sacks, two fumble recoveries and two pass break-ups in just eight games after missing four different games due to injury.
The Class of 2021 recruit currently has seven college offers including Texas State and New Mexico and is drawing interest from several Big 12 programs including Oklahoma State. Not only does Moss star on the gridiron but also competes on the track and basketball teams at Broken Arrow High School. The hard work also carries over to his studies, he currently holds a 3.4 GPA in the classroom.
In an exclusive Recruiting News Guru interview, I caught up with Darryan to talk about his junior season and get an update on his recruiting process.
