NCCU’s Chris Mosley Named 2025 MEAC/SWAC Challenge MVP
The North Carolina Central Eagles ran the ball effectively in their dominant 31-14 MEAC/SWAC Challenge win over the Southern Jaguars last night. It all started with the exceptional performance of NCCU running back Chris Mosley, who was named the MVP of the game. He rushed for a career-high 174 yards and 1 touchdown, on just 15 carries, averaging 11.4 yards per carry. The Fort Worth, Texas, native started his college career on the JUCO level at Cisco College in Cisco, Texas, before transferring to NCCU in 2022. Before the 2025 season, Mosley had a reserve role in the Eagles' running back room, accumulating 502 rushing yards and 9 total touchdowns across the past three seasons. The redshirt senior let the entire world know during the Eagles’ national televised game on ABC yesterday that he’s ready to lead the charge, after exploding for a 49-yard touchdown run to retake the lead in the second quarter, which ignited a fire on NCCU’s sideline, and they never looked back. During the Eagles’ post-game conference, Mosley stated, “My main focus in that running back room was just being electric, giving those guys energy, showing them that we here, we came to play, and I think I did that”.
