MTSU's Mosley leaves the team

By ADAM SPARKS

Staff Writer

MURFREESBORO — Middle Tennessee State senior defensive end Sean Mosley has quit the football team.

A starter for most of his career, Mosley was one of the standouts on MTSU’s dominant defensive line last season.

Mosley had started 27 career games, including all 13 last season. He recorded career highs of 40 tackles and 9.5 tackles for loss last season as a junior.

Mosley had participated in spring practice, offseason workouts, fall camp and the team picture Sunday before deciding to quit the team today.

MTSU Coach Rick Stockstill will release a statement about the situation following tonight’s practice.

It is the fifth MTSU player and third starter to be lost in two days. Starting fullback Hunter Birtsch (knee), starting center Jake Padrick (shoulder) and true freshman linebacker Landon Givers (back) will miss the season due to injury.

Reserve fullback Brodey Mann was dismissed from the team Monday for missing multiple practices.

MUTS COACH NOT HAPPY (Replies to Mosley's quitting the team)

...coach Rick Stockstill showed disappointment over the quitting of senior defensive end Sean Mosley Tuesday.

“I despise quitting because all we teach at Middle Tennessee is finishing everything you do in life,” Stockstill said in a statement after the team's afternoon practice. “It really bothers me when a kid tells me he has been thinking about quitting for a long time. You really wish they would tell you right away because it really puts the team and coaching staff in a difficult position, especially when you are just two weeks from game week.”

"But we will not talk about this anymore and we will not dwell on it. This is a great opportunity for someone else to step up."....

I'd like to say a feel sorry for MUTS ont his issue, but after the thumping they gave us last year, I'm not so sympathtic.

I love it when we beat the hell out of MTSU. I just burns their asses that we have dominated them like we have in the past.

I'm not going to judge the kid because I have no idea what's going on in his life. Everything Coach says here is probably true. But he needs to keep what appears to be his private conversations with the kid private.

Sometimes leadership means sucking it up and keeping your trap shut.

Stockstill sure seems determined to trash this kid's name.

Mosley was probably going to be only a reserve on this year's team, and he has recently graduated.

Is it so shocking that he could possibly have priorities outside of football?
